Is there an Office Suite for Linux that has a Network Button in the Open/Save Windows

To all,
I cannot seem to find an Office Suite for Linux that has a Network Button in the Open and Save Windows. So that when you for example go to open a file from a network drive, you can then click a network icon in the open window, and then click on the network drive and file. This saves you having to type the whole path to the network computer and file. Is there such a program.

Thanks Michael

Any network directory will be mounted in Linux. However, they can be mounted in any location. You can mount a Windows share with this example:

# smbmount //name-of-server/name-of-share /home/user/mount-point

...or use an application like LinNeighborhood to mount Windows network resources. Then you simply save into the mounted directory...which actually exists on the server.
