Creating new sub directory or folder in Office 2008 for Mac

[margmcal]

How can I organize my files in sub directories in Word 2008 for Mac? In Vista, I right click on Document and create a New Folder but that does not work in Mac. I am a new IMac owner (1 week) and am not yet up to speed (simple when you know how). Thanks.

Welcome -

I believe what you are experiencing is a difference between Windows & Mac OS
X - it has nothing to do with Word.

In a Finder window open the folder you want to make the new one in,
Control/Right-Click in the window - not on a folder - and choose the New
Folder command from the shortcut (contextual) menu.

Alternatively, select a folder then type Shift+Command+N to create a new
folder within the selected folder (or use Finder's File> New Folder
command).

If you're in a program's Save As dialog (click the "jellybean" button @ the
right of the Save As list to expand the dialog if necessary) there's a New
Folder button in the lower left corner of the dialog.

Additionally, spend some time in Mac Help. When you launch it there is a
specific topic in the Top Customer Issues pertaining to switching from
Windows as well as a number of other useful bits.

Good Luck |:>)
