Setting default view for the Open File dialog in Word 2007?

[AceWriter01]

When I try to open a document from within Word 2007, I want the dialog box to
default to the DETAILS view of my folders -- but half the time it opens up
with another view (small icons, list, etc). I have my folders in Vista
(ultimate) set up to appear in the DETAILS view by default, but that default
setting does not seem to apply to the Open Dialog in Word -- and I can't find
a way to define that default from within Word.

Does someone know how to set the default file view in the Open dialog box in
Word 2007?

Thanks!
