"Save As" dialogue is missing "favorites" option

[Jimbo2112]

Hi All,

Maybe I am going daft here, but, before IT rebuilt my PC I was sure I could pull up my list of `Favorites` in the left hand part of the dialogue when saving files in apps. like Excel and Word. This option has disappeared now and I can't see how to reinstate it. All I get now is:

My Recent Docs
Desktop
My Docs
My Computer
My Network Places

It saved so much time navigating to where I want to put files. So...

* Am I going mad? Was it ever there?
* If not going mad how do I reinstate the function and how could it have been removed in the first place?

Thanks

Jimbo

Try clicking on Tools ->Customize ->Customize Toolbars/Menus. On the Toolbars page, click the name of the Menu Bar then click the Reset button & OK. If that doesn't work, go back to the same place, but on the Commands page locate the 'Save As' command in the File category & drag it to the File Menu on the Menu Bar toolbar & into position on the menu.

Hope this helps! Bob
