Lost Ability to Navigate Folders on Save

[Rene]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Until recently, I'd always been able to "Save-As" and select any of my folders and sub-folders, the folders and sub-folders on the other mac in my office and my desktop and I also had the option to create a new folder. Now the save-as menu has changed and I can only select my MAC, the desktop and my recent places...and my recent places are not updating. The create new folder option is gone as well.

I did a "Save-As" in WORD and the old menu is still there, so it appears to be only in EXCEL that I have this problem. Did I accidently change some setting? I thought it might be due to an automatic MS update because about the same time, the "Save to Server" boxes became mysteriously un-checked in Outlook on both MACs, but the other MAC in the office still has the old menu, so I ruled that out. I checked for updates for MSOffice and my MAC and I'm current.

I found the answer to my problem, and it was so simple I want to scream! Thanks to Bob Jones for answering a similar question in the Office forum.

"Click the square button with the big triangle on it (it's to the right of the Save As (filename) list) to expand the dialog window".

Yea Bob!!

Ahhh, such a breath of fresh air, Rene...

Not because of the roses (which are certainly appreciated) but that you not
only demonstrated the initiative to search in the first place *but also*
took the time post back with what you found.

It's you who deserves the kudos!
