Insert ->Slides from File -> Browse - Always shows 'My Documents'

[Akhilesh Pandey]

I have Powerpoint 2003 on a Windows XP. Previously, I had Powerpoint 2000 on
Windows XP and when I used - Insert ->Slides from File -> Browse - it showed
me the most recently used folder (which was a folder where I had all my
slides).

But now, when I use the command: Insert ->Slides from File -> Browse - it
always shows 'My Documents' as the default folder. I am unable to find a menu
where I can change this to 'most recently used folder' or something like that.

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, PowerPoint Insert Slides From File HAS ALWAYS
pointed to the My Documents folder, no exceptions, ever. Even if you just
added slides from a buried folder, if you clicked again, you started at the
My Documents folder. Perhaps you were thinking of another PowerPoint
Function or Office Application.

You can place a shortcut in the MyDoc folder and label it something that
brings it to the top of the list. That will make navigating a bit easier.

Hi

In addition to Bill's answer, there are some other ideas here:

Hi RealInfo,

I'm not sure, but I think Lucy and Steve might have misread the post. This
isn't about inserting pictures, but about inserting slides from files.

In PPT 2003, the 'picture insert' does remember the last insert folder, but
the 'insert slides from files' does not.

Yep, totally mis-read. Apologies for the duff info.
