Dialog box open long time a list of files when I click Edit hypertext link in HTMLdocument. How set off this load the list of files ? Thank you. Jiri Kunes
Hi Jiri, When you use Ctrl+K it's reading in the lists for 3 choices: - Current folder (Harcoded to use the My documents setting from Windows, unfortunately) - Browsed pages (Internet Explorer history) - Recent Files (Same folder as using File=>Open and My Recent documents). It doesn't have any 'Intellisense' to it, in that it appears to read/refresh those each time and when there are a lot of documents/folder names/locations for it to read through then sort it is frustrating that it takes that much time. If you know the construct for the hyperlink field you can manually type in the information in your Word document using Ctrl+F9 to create a blank field and then type in HYPERLINK and your data or use Insert=>Field (then type H) and use the Hyperlink field from there to get to the field code options without using the other dialog. (You could also use Tools=>Customize) to jump to Insert=>Field rather than the hyperlink dialog) I don't recall if using a macro to change the 'current folder' setting when you enter the normal ctrl+K dialog works or if it is waiting for the file list read to occur first. ========== <<"Jiri Kunes" <Jiri Kunes@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D7D8F24A-2969-41CA-ABE1-425CA1921E99@microsoft.com...
