Definitely goinjg to Documents will get me there. The thing I can't figure out to do, now that someone on the list mentioned it is be in Word and hit Control O for Open and then get to my Documents Directory. I even got to a place that said All Text Files or something like that, but I could not open that.

While you are in the open dialog, tab once to 'type' and put in txt. Open only works for the types in that box. I always go to documents and press enter on the one I want. Also. If you are using windows 7 or later, you can type the document name in the search field that you get when you press the windows key, and bypass 'open' altogether. Good luck!
