Tools -> Options -> File Locations

 

Microsoft Word saves your work in the My Documents folder by default. What if you wanted to save your stuff someplace else—Say a network file server or a bigger, newer hard drive in your own machine? Would you have to pull down the menus and hunt for that parking spot each and every time you save a document? Nah, there’s a better way.

You can change the default location in Microsoft Word. Go to Tools on the menu bar and select Options. When the Options Windows comes up, click on the File Locations tab. Do you see where it says File Types? Click on Documents to select it. Now, browse to where you want to save your work.

Done and done. Whenever you open or save a document in Word, it will go to the right place. That saves time, doesn’t it? <grin>
