How do I change the default in Open Dialog Box to "all files"?

[Bea]

We are using Microsoft Office 2007. We would like the Open Dialog Box to
default to "All files" in both Excel and Word. We have a lot of people using
saving documents and different places and often have trouble finding the
files later when no one remembers what format they were created in. How do I
change the default to "All Files"?

Unless you have some script running when you start Word, it should default
to the last previous setting in the dialog.
