How do I make the file details view my default view with Open fi.
I just followed a long thread on this issue in Powerpoint 2003. Interesting
that at some point the thread diverted from the original issue and did not yield any solution! Upon Open File, the view always reverts to Preview mode. This is very annoying. I have loads of presentations and I use primarily the date modified sort to find the one I need. So I would like to find a way to make the Details view my default, likewise in Excel and Word. |

Probably because there is none, only workarounds. One that may not have been mentioned, though: Don't use PPT's file open dialog. Instead, leave PPT open, switch to Windows Explorer and doubleclick the PPT file you want there. Or drag it onto the title bar of the PPT window.

Is there a way to inform Microsoft about this stupidity?
