Glad you asked the question, because it make me go figure it out. I'm in Office 2010 in Windows 7. I just tried a couple things in Office and hope these help.
First, go to an office program and Hit control O to get to the dialog box. Shift Tab until you hear Organize button and click on it. Under Layout, uncheck anything you don't want. The only item I have checked is the Navigation pane, but that's just my current preference. Second, and more important for what you want, start back at the dialog box. Again shift tab until you get to the Organize button, then hit right arrow until you hear View split button. Hit alt down arrow to open it and you'll hear that it's a slider bar. Makes no sense to me why it was designed this way and I cannot seem to get Window Eyes to read what the calibrations mean, however, using my bit of vision, I found that there are options going up and down alongside that slider that say things like smaller icons and larger icons, list, and so forth as we used to see on the View menu. Having now clicked on the ListView option with my bit of vision (or maybe I could have used a Window Eyes Control shift f to find that button), I now hear Window Eyes say that the track position is 99. So, I think that if you were to just arrow up or down until you get to 99 and then hit return, you will be in the listview. I did this and now that Names split button you don't like is gone from all my Office 2010 open dialog boxes.

Is there anyway to get it back to where it just says file name and then index, like in windows explorer? Windows seven, wineyes 8.4.
