SYMPTOMS
You cannot navigate through the Look In, File Name, or Files Of Type lists in the File Open dialog box by typing a letter on your keyboard. This functionality is different from earlier versions of Word, which allowed you to quickly locate files or folders that begin with a specific letter by typing that letter.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 7.0 and 7.0a for Windows 95. This problem has been corrected in Word 97 for Windows.



WORKAROUND
Use the mouse to navigate through the Look In, File Name, and Files Of Type lists.
