Re: add folder to Save As... dialog
I guess I should be more specific - I'm not trying to create a NEw folder. I
want to add to the SHORTCUTS that are all the way to the left in the dialog.
They are large icons - not the yellow folders. (To see what I mean, open Word
and save a document. You will see the vertical strip of large icons down the
left side of the dialog box.)
