Lisa B
There is a series technical issue with the terminology used by the Signature book authors here. The element as the left of the Save As and Open dialog boxes has *never* been called the "side bar." It's been called either Places or My Places in previous Office versions, and according to Office 2007 help, is called "My Places" in this version. This is a serious issue, IMHO, because Vista has a new desktop element/app named Windows Sidebar, so mistakenly using the term "side bar" here could potentially really confuse students. I have stuck with the terminology used by the authors here to avoid confusion, but this should definitely be noted as an errata in instructor materials. Thanks. LB
