Office: Customize the Places Bar

1. Open any Office XP application such as Word etc.
2. Go to the File menu then select either Save or Open.
3. Browse to the folder you want added to the Places Bar and select it.

1. Click on the Tools menu and choose Add to "My Places".

1. The folder now appears in your places menu.
2. You can now move it up or down as desired. Right-click the folder in the left pane and select Move Up until you get it to the desired position.

1. If you have more icons than will fit on the bar, a small arrow appears to indicate there are more icons and you can scroll up or down the list. If scrolling isn't does sound so hot, you can resize the dialog window to show more, made easier if you switch to small icons.
