6.6. The Open Dialog Box: All VersionsTo reopen a document you've already saved and named, you can pursue any of these avenues:
The Open dialog box looks almost identical to the Save As dialog box. Once again, you start out by perusing the contents of your Documents folder; once again, the dialog box otherwise behaves exactly like an Explorer window. For example, you can press Backspace to back out of a folder that you've opened. When you've finally located the file you want to open, double-click it or highlight it (from the keyboard, if you like), and then press Enter. In general, most people don't encounter the Open dialog box nearly as often as the Save As dialog box. That's because Windows offers many more convenient ways to open a file (double-clicking its icon, choosing its name from the Start Documents command, and so on), but only a single way to save a new file. |
