I'm still on Office 2003, so haven't had a chance to verify these in Office 2007. But a directory list is a directory list, so Backspace should be universal. You're right about the focus mattering -- hit Shift+Tab to get into the file list pane and then try Backspace. Let me know if that works, and I'll clarify the original article. Hmm.

Note as well that for some keyboard shotcuts (though not alt-up arrow), it matters whether you're in the field where you type a file name, or you're in the directory/folder list, when you use such commands. I'd suspect the backspace especially would be such a case, where in the backspace would do what it normally does, removing previous characters in a file name, but when on the folder list it may act as above (but again, not on my Vista/Office 2007 setup). Hope that's helpful to readers. Thanks as always for the keyboard shortcuts. Am a huge fan (of them and your site)..
