Folders
on the Fly
Not too long ago,
I discussed creating new folders from within the MS Office programs.
It's a handy trick to know so that you can create a new space for
the new document or workbook you just finished.
I had a reader
submit a question shortly thereafter, asking how to accomplish this
trick in MS Office 2007.
Good question!
And here's your
answer.
You can go
to either the Save As or the Open window, but of course,
we now access it either through the Office Button
or the Quick Access Toolbar.
In either location,
you should be looking at the typical navigation windows to find your
way through the tangled web of your computer files.
The button you're
looking to locate is at the top of the window. It's called the New
Folder button.
Click
it.
Once you do, you
will not get a special window where you can name your folder as you
did in previous versions of MS Office. Instead, the program simply
puts a folder into the list alphabetically, named "New
Folder." (I know, it's not so creative, but it's easier
to find that way!)
The name of the
new folder will be highlighted so that you can immediately rename
it to something more useful.
Type your
new folder name and then hit the Enter key.
Voila. The folder
is renamed and shuffled to its new home!
