193694 2003-11-21 19:29:00 Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the "save in" buttons that are displayed on the left of the "Save As" window that comes up when you save a document or spreadsheet? By default the buttons are "History", "My Documents", "desktop" etc. but I would like to customize these to be specific folders or specific "network places" kerryg (4512)
193695 2003-11-21 21:33:00 Hi Kerry,

To add custom locations to the My Places bar, open the save as dialog, select the folder to add, click the tools button (top right hand side of the dialog box) and then select Add to My Places.

193696 2003-11-22 18:48:00 Thanks for this. How about in office 2K? It does not seem to have the "add to my places" tool. (I have a mixture of office XP and Office 2K on 3 different machines) kerryg (4512)

5. Change the Common Places Bar - Windows 2000, Windows Xp Pro or Home Edition and
6a. Customise the Places Bar Office2000 / Office XP.

Tweak UI allows you to edit the common dialog with the click of a mouse. Much easier, and no chance of trashing your system! Tristan Speak (465)
