[QUOTE="sunny, post: 1199380, member: 50203"] I'm working in Excel. When I select "File - Open" in Excel, it lists all of the files in the folder, not just the Excel files even though I select "All Excel Files" from the Excel dialog box. The non-Excel files are grayed out. However, I still have to scroll through every file in the folder to find the specific file I am looking for. On the PC, when I select "File - Open" in Excel, it only displays Excel files and then allows me to sort the Excel files in that folder by name, date, size, etc. I have my folders set up by project, so they include all types of files that relate to that specific project, pdf, illustrator, photoshop, word, etc. As for "Previewing" the files, on the PC you actually see a preview of every Excel file rather than having to highlight the files and then press the spacebar to see what's in that file to determine if it is the one you are looking for. (I didn't know about pressing the spacebar to get a preview, so that is helpful.) Same for Word, etc. Similar to photos, when you select Icon view in Finder. You see every document as they appear when opened in Excel or Word. [/QUOTE]
