Opening files

If I wish to open a file/document/application, I get the first box shown in Picture 1.

However, I want this box to open every time as Picture 2 (i.e. bigger).

Can anyone advice how I can do this?

Probably have to change the size setting in the preferences or .pkg contents.
 
Is it possible to change the preferences on this finder window (as in the attached picture below)?

Thanks Curosity. Unfortunately this makes no difference.

I also find the Finder opens up in a variety of different sizes, for no apparent reason it would seem.

I really would like the Finder to open up the same size each time.
 
I think there's also a misunderstanding here... That's not a _Finder_ window, but the open/save dialogue of Microsoft Word, right?
 
Yes.

When I orignally posted I was referring to the dialogue box one sees after scrolling to 'OPEN' in an application (in this case Microsoft Word). These application dialogue boxes always seems to open too small. I would like them to open bigger, so I need to scroll less often.

However, I find the same problem with the Finder window. It nearly always opens too small.

I wonder whther there is anyway of configuring application dialogue boxes and the Finder window to always open at a fixed size of my choosing?
 
In the Finder, views are saved. You open an item, close it, and it'll open to the same view next time. Unless you're using browsing-view (brushed metal), where the view is kept from the previous window. I generally simply use the column-view in browser-mode. I define the "new window" for Finder to something that suits me (by opening it, not selecting anything, adjusting it and then closing it). Dunno about the open/save dialogues. I don't think those have system-wide settings, rather app-specific.
