saving as doesn't let me see destination options
In open office writer, I try to save a new document; I can type in the name of the document, but in the destination space I can no longer get a choice of destinations. It only offers "documents" but clicking on that doesn't give me the sub-levels any more. Same when I try Save As. This just started recently and I'm going crazy trying to find a way to get that document into the right folder.
Did I hit something somewhere?
Also, in my Documents page, when I was trying to move a document there into an existing folder by dragging it, it knocked that folder into another folder and now I have a hell of a time finding where it went.
How can I find it without having to open every folder in Documents?
The problem seems to be with my hellaciously oversensitive touch pad that keeps opening up everything it crosses or even gets near. I am 76 and sometimes have an unsteady hand.

please specify your operating system. open/save dialogues are usually system-specific, not application-specific.

Run to your nearest gadget store, buy a "regular" mouse, plug it in and
you're done going nuts with that damnable touch pad. Logitech has a nice
wireless mouse (# M325).

I am 78 and also sometimes have an unsteady hand. Try double-clicking if
you can (I had to adjust my mouse settings in Control Panel to be able to
double-click.)
