Favorites in Excel

[sphbecker]

In Excel 2002, the Common Dialog box (the thing that pops up when you do
File-Open) had a shortcut to Favorites. A few users really became accustom
to using that and are wondering how to enable that feature in Excel 2003
(where it does not appear by default). I looked around a little bit and
didn’t see an option. How is this done?

Do File|open
in the top right corner, you'll see Tools.
Click on that and you'll see a "add to my places" option.

You can traverse to any folder and add it to "my places".

In fact, you can go to Favorites (and add shortcuts to your favorite folders
there) and put Favorites in "my Places"

File>Open to get the dialog box.

In "Look in:" scroll to your Favorites Folder in Documents and Settings.

When active, hit Tools>Add to "My Places".
