File Open doesn't display all directories (List vs Details)
When in Excel, choose File, Open - when in 'LIST' view, I do not get all my
subdirectories displayed. When the view is changed to 'DETAILS', all the subdirectories are displayed. Changed back to "LIST" view, and subdirectories go missing again. However, when in Windows Explorer, all subdirectories are correctly displayed. What is causing this? And how to fix? (Windows 2000 with Office 2000 installed, all service packs installed). |

Oak,
Could it be you need to scroll? Look for both horizontal and vertical scroll bars. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com "OakCity" wrote in message ...

No. That's not the problem. When in 'List' view, I see (for example), the
subdirectories of Timesheet, Projects, To Do Lists, Pictures and Word Files. In the 'Detail' view, I'll see subdirectories Timesheet, Projects, To Do Lists, Pictures, Word Files AND Newsletters, Inspection Requests, Map Images, and PC Repairs. Now, it appears that when doing "File, Open", in Word 2000, it is reacting the same way that Excel 2000 - certain subdirectories are not showing unless I change the view to 'Detail'. I'm suspecting that Office 2000 is now the culprit? "Earl Kiosterud" wrote: Oak, Could it be you need to scroll?

Oak,
I dunno. Sounds as if something isn't working right -- I don't think you've missed anything or done anything wrong. Try rebooting. Just this morning, one of my audio editors wasn't in the Start menu, and I didn't see its folder in C:\Program Files. I'd just used it yesterday. After a reboot, all was back again. Very weird. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com "OakCity" wrote in message ... No. That's not the problem.
