Change file selection from "Word Documents (*.doc)" to "All files (*.*)"

[Fred Boer]

Hi all:

When I do a mail merge, I merge data to a Word Template (.dot) file, not a
Word (.doc) file. So, every time I want to do a merge I have to remember to
change the file selection filter from "Word Documents (*.doc)" to "All files
(*.*)". Is there any way to change this to make "All files (*.*) the
default?

Thanks!

I don't believe that it's possible to change the default.

Thanks for responding. I didn't think it would be, but you never know!

Cheers!
