file open/views/details set detail for office 2003 under VIS

I am having an annoying problem (upon file open or save /view ... I CAN'T GET
TO SEE the precious "date modified" under VIEW DETAILS, even if I select it
each time -- I only get the NAME Column under VISTA and Office 2003)

Is this a known problem under VISTA and office2003 ??

system: VISTA Business SP1, Office 2003 SP3

I spent ages working this one too. Open an application (i.e. Word), click on "File", click on "Open". In dialogue box, open the folder that holds your documents. At this point, I was only seeing the file names (no Date, Size etc.). Hover your mouse pointer over the "Name" heading and a drop down arrow will magically appear beside "Name". Click on the arrow and the drop down menu lets you define all the attributes you want to display when opening a file. Once done in Word, it seems to apply itself to Excel, Powerpoint etc.
