With Office 2007 I am seeing some different behavior when saving files (the
old File\Save As command). Let's assume my directory structure is:
c:\files\management\financials\mine\
And that I have set Word to default to the c:\files directory when saving
and opening files.
Further, I want to get to the 'mine' directory to save a file called '200705
financials.xls'.
With the old versions of Office I could do all this with relatively few
keystrokes and no mouse action...hate the mouse. I could type in something
ike 'man', Excel would fill in the rest to display 'management' at which
point I could either hit Enter (and open that folder) or hit the backslash,
then type 'fin', get the same behavior, type 'mi', hit Enter, then name my
file and hit enter one final time.
With new versions, I have to either type the entire path (not friendly if
you have long directory names) or go to the flippin mouse or type part of the
name, hit the down arrow until your selection is highlighted, then hit
backslash, then keep typing.
I know it is minor and a learning thing, but I am continually reverting to
the old method and saving files named things like 'man', 'fin' or 'mi' using
the examples above.
I have tried to find how to change this behavior both in the Office products
and online without avail. Again, minor, but I try to be efficient and fast
when I'm working and this one is just a thorn in my side.
Any suggestions?
