Start Word or Excel, etc. -> “Open” button -> “Browse” button ... (German: "Öffnen", "Durchsuchen")Thank you!!!! Quickswitch is awesome for saving from Microsoft!
But Is there a similar workaround for opening a file from within MS products?
-> Ctrl+Q calls up the “QuickSwitch Menu” (Paths from TC or Windows Explorer are available here)
OR
-> ALT+Tab to Total Commander [or Windows Explorer], ALT+TAB back to the Word “Open” dialog:
The path in Total Commander [or Windows Explorer] should now appear/be adjusted in the Word “Open” dialog.
In principle, QuickSwitch can be used for both “Save as...” and “Open” dialogs.
I work with QuickSwitch mainly as follows:
1. Calling the desired directory in Total Commander, usually with Directory Hotlist (Ctrl+D)
2. F12 "Save as..." in Word or Excel -> usually the desired directory from TC already exists
3. I only use Ctrl+Q or ALT+TAB, ALT+TAB if the desired directory does not appear in the "Save As..." dialog.
