Include shared folder/file in "save" file list

I have a Vista and XP computers networked and sharing files and folders.
Everything works fine and I can access files and folders as well as printers
between the 2 computers. My problem is when I'm working on an application
on the Vista computer and attempt to save a file. I cannot figure out how
to have folders that are shared on the XP computer list as an option in the
Vista save location list.

As an example, I can be on the XP machine using Word and perform a Save-as
command. I can navigate to a folder on the Vista computer and save it
there. I cannot do the same on the Vista computer because none of the
network folders from the XP computer will list. I can go into Vista's
Network and see all of the XP shared folders, but I can't get them to appear
in any "save" list.

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank for your help.
