I do not think there is an easy way to sort the list alphabetically.
I don't use Mac/Word 08 but in OpenOffice 3.1 on my linux system when I use the
file open dialog
box it presents the file types by "most popular" at the top which is defaulted
to Open Office documents.
I thought Word 08 defaul
The list of converters/translators appears as soon as you try to open a
file that's not native. Word does the same thing except the converter
list is sorted alphabetically. The OpenOffice list is so long, and the
names aren't exactly what you'd expect for the file types. I looked for
Word 2008,
Is it even necessary to pick a type? When opening an existing
document, just open it, ignoring the file types entirely. The file
extension is supposed to tell the app what it is you're opening. I
dunno, as these days I either use Office or a cloud solution (Zoho,
Google Docs).

Any chance you can begin to type the first few letters of the one you want
and it sorts?

In the dialog box for opening a document in OpenOffice 3 [Vista], the
list of translators/converters isn't in alphabetical order. It's a long
list--takes a long time to find the right converter.
Can this list be put in alphabetical order?
