How to show Word files in alphabetical order

Organise files by name

Q I use Word 2003 under XP. For some time the folder of Document files available to use in Word has been shown by ‘Modified’, that is, date order, though the same folder is shown in Windows Explorer in alphabetical order. I can’t persuade the system to show me files in alphabetical order using the File, Open command from Word.
Peter Moon

A Word doesn’t use the built-in Windows File Open/Save dialogues, so the views specified in Explorer won’t apply.

The principle, however, is the same. Click once on a heading to sort by that category, click again to reverse the order.

This preference should then ‘stick’ next time you visit that folder from the Open or Save dialogues.
