Default Why is favorites folder missing in file, open in office 2003?

I just moved to Office 2003 in a corporate environment. When I go to open a
file in Office (Excel), the Favorites icon no longer appears on the left hand
side. I really use that feature. Can I get it back? I can't find anyway to
do it? If I can't do it, what are some alternatives for acheiving the same
function?

FileOpen. In the Look in: browse to your C:\Documents and Settings\user\
and select Favorites folder. Don't open it, just select it.

Now go over and click on Tools and "Add to My Places"

This can be done with any folder you wish to have on the My Places bar.

You can also right-click on any folder currently in the "My Places" bar and
remove it.

Correction........

Right-click and remove any folders that have been placed there by user.

The default ones stay there AFAIK
