p.s. That assumes you are looking in the folder containing the
file--documents? Word only sees the file types it is expecting; so
you have to tell it to look through all kinds of files, hence *.*
instead of *.docx.
good luck.

Ann, Thanks for the many hot keys, PC and the others.
I don't understand your explaining how to open a text file. Perhaps
you mean to open a recent document.
You say:
While you are in the open dialog, tab once to 'type' and put in txt.
What is what you call the "open dialogue"? Perhaps we are in different places.
I use ctrl+o and I hear "backstage, open tab".
There is a list of recently opened documents.
I tab and arrow around, and there is no word "type". Perhaps this is
the problem using the ribbon, when do I tab and when to arrow? Arrow
up or down, or left or right.
I know about using the Windows key to open a search box. If I type
in a text file name then Notepad opens that file.
I need to open a non-recent text file from inside WORD. How do I get
an edit box, into which I can type the path/filename, from inside WORD?
Thanks.

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!
