Walter Mossberg: New Microsoft Office keeps 'Favorites,' alters procedure

Q In the new version of Microsoft Office, I cannot find a "favorites" capability in the Open dialog box. In my older version, when I began to open a document, I had a box on the left called "Favorites" that I could invoke to find common file locations. Did they really kill this very useful feature?
