I am having a really bad day. It's obvious that I am unable to explain the problem. Someplace in Word, perhaps in the code itself, there is a parameter that has been set that says when the top level folder is opened, in my case it is "Word Files", it will open to the first Word document in "Word Files". I want it to open to the first folder in "Word Files". This will enable the first two columns of folders to appear in the window using the "List" option at the top right. As it is now when Word opens to the first Word document under "Word Files" I have to use the slider at the bottom of the window in order to get Columns 1 & 2 to appear in the window. That is an extra, and in my opinion, an unnecessary step. Excel does not have this problem. It always opens to the first folder.
