How to Set the default location of documents (2007)

Do you waste time clicking with your mouse because Word does not point to the folder of your choice whenever you Open or Save a file? The default is often set to 'My Documents'. But most people need to save their documents in a project or functional folder on their network drive eg S: or P: drive...





So why not spend a few moments and change the folder Word looks in by default? You only need to do this once and it only takes a few moments.
  • With Word 2007 open, select the Office button 
  • right click, then select Custom Qick Access Tool Bar.
  • Select the Save tab
  • To the right of the 'Default file location:' box, click the Browse button


  • The Modify Location box is displayed
  • In the 'Look in:' box, click the down-arrow and locate your required default file location

     
  • Click OK >> OK
  • Now when you Open or Save a file, the location you specified above is displayed
