Peter, I get what you are saying. I am accustomed to being able to have access to a directory, which, of course, I can do by just getting into documents, but for all of these years, I have been able to hit Control-O and shift tab to directory, arrow to document I want. So in that regard, it would seem that there has been a bit of regression?

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.

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.
