Arrange items in "open file" window

O

Oggi

Hi: I would like to have the items in the "open file" window arranged so that folders appear first and documents follow. Currently all documents and folders appear alphabetically with folders and documents mixed together (quite confusing). Any advice?

Sorry: You will get used to it :)

That's the Mac OS way of doing things. The File>Open window you are seeing
is generated by Mac OS, not Word. Word simply uses the standard System
window.

I have taken to ensuring that there are no "Files" in my higher-level
folders. So I don't get confused...

Cheers
