What happens when you click on the various icons to the right of the 'Save
in' box?

Notice that the Word file is going to be saved as "Doc2.doc" in a folder
called "Viking_Pin_Files" whereas the Paintshop file is going to be saved
as "ls.jpg" in a folder called "CeliasCat" (? - indistinct image). One or
another of the icons in the Paintshop dialogue box should allow you to
navigate back out of the "CeliasCat" folder.

Why MS Word lists folders that (presumably) aren't inside the
"Viking_Pin_Files" file whereas Paintshop appears to list folders that are
available inside "CeliasCat", I don't know.

Let me guess, you still haven't put your mouse pointer over any of the
little icons on the right of the 'toolbar' at the top of the file save
dialogue in Paintshop ... let alone clicked ...

I don't understand why others seem to be having difficulty understanding
what you mean. The issue is quite clear. I don't have an explanation for
the phenomenon, but on my own computer I did a bit of checking around and
got all the big icons on the left for Microsoft Office, Open Office,
Audacity, Notepad, Paint, and MovieMaker, BUT did not even get an empty
space on the left with IrfanView and Adobe PhotoDeluxe:

strange indeed . . .
