Customizing Office XP File Open and Save dialogs

[Dave Neve]

Hi

I've read the following in an article

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

"Customizing Word 2000 File Open & File Save Dialog

On the left hand side of the Office 2000 and Office XP File Open and Save
dialogs is a set of icons Microsoft calls the "Places Bar". You can
customize it to add your own commonly used folders, or turn it off

Office XP

Ofice XP <http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/OfficeXP.htm>, has the
built-in functionality to allow you to have up to 256 items on the "Places
bar". Just navigate in the File Open (or Save As) dialog and select the
folder or location you want to add to the places. Then click on Tools (upper
right corner of the dialog), Add to My Places.

You can remove places from the bar by right-clicking on one and then cliking
remove"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------

Thing is, the lines that I need to click 'Add to my places' (in tools) and
'delete' (when I right click on icon) are grayed out.



I have Office on XP family.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

You have to have a folder selected before the commands are available.
