Re: change file open dialog box settings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1) Open Word

2) Use File>Open

3) Adjust the window to your taste

4) Select and Open a document

5) Quite Word immediately on command Q

Word is displaying a Finder window for that dialog. You need to hit an
action button to make Word store the settings (in other words, you need to
actually open a file).

You then need to Quit Word to force it to SAVE the new settings.

Cheers
