Is it possible to set the default view to Details View in the
Open/New Document dialog with a macro?

If thats' the case - any code example?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QW5ldHRl?=,

Is it possible to set the default view to Details View in the
Open/New Document dialog with a macro?

If thats' the case - any code example?

Which version of which application? Basically, it's not
possible. But some versions of some applications should
remember the setting. And in some cases you can use a macro
with SendKeys to display what you need.

Hi!
It's Word 2003 (forgot to write that). But know I have found a macro that
works fine! On the Word MVP-site:

"Force the File New dialog to display in List view
Article contributed by Bill Coan
Create a FileNew macro that will run in place of Word's own File New routine"

Sub FileNew()

SendKeys "%2"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show

End Sub

(Change the SendKeys statement to “%1†for Large Icon view or to “%3†for
Detail view)
