Moderated Changes to MS Word Menus
Brenda Emerson-Alford
Hello Listers, My MS Office updated automatically the other night. I am currently using Microsoft Word Subscription Version 16.0.13530.20198. This update has significantly changed how the menus work when saving a document. Previously I could do an alt F and then hit A to do a save as. This would bring up a dialogue box in which I could shift tab twice and get a list of recently used folders from which I could use first letter navigation to get to a folder to open and complete the saving process. Now when I shift tab twice I get a question about making pinned folders. If I arrow down that list I can see folders that I have previously used but they are separated by "today", "this week" and "last week". This same set up occurs when trying to open a document in word. First letter navigation does not work in this configuration. I am guessing that some view or feature that I normally use has been changed in the update. Any ideas about what I need to do to get back to just having a recent folders or documents list that is not distinguished by today, this week and so on? Thanks for any and all assistance.

Try hitting f12 to start a save as and see if you get any different results.
Otherwise, it sounds like the sort by groups is on in your Windows Explorer, or File Explorer as it is called now. If that is the case, perhaps do a search on the web for changing the sort by options in File Explorer.
