If Microsoft was to add a similar editable path (the text selected in blue, in the top of the dialog box) in its Backstage view, I wouldn’t need the old Save/Open dialog box anymore. Sure, the old dialog box is messier, and it is harder to read with my bad eyesight, but either using the Quick Access sidebar or using the plain old editable path, I find it so much faster than having to click, and click, and click again and again, before I reach the folder I want: Maybe it’s me being used to the old way of doing things, but I find it much faster and straightforward (less clicks required) to change location using the old window.
But I find it worse for one thing: changing folder. And it’s much better in many ways, at least because it makes better use of Windows 10 accessibility features. It’s quite similar and at the same time quite different from the old dialog box. In this window, you can access your recent files and folders, go to different cloud and local folders, pin favorites (and have different ones for each Office app), and so on.
As Microsoft wrote, the backstage “ is everything that you do to a file that you don’t do in the file.” By default, when you hit Save or when you try to open a file, the latest versions of Word and other Microsoft Office applications will use a new kind of window called the Backstage.
