Display a dialog box as a task pane?

[Guest]

Is it possible to make a dialog box display as a task pane? For example, I
constantly need to open documents. It would be great if I could make the Open
dialog box appear as a task pane. That way I could access folder contents
with less navigating and clicking. Does anyone know if it is even possible to
do this?

Thanks!

There's nothing in Word that will allow you to do this, no. It's possible for
people with very good programming skills to approximate what you describe, but
for "everyday users" there's nothing.
