default folder to open

[jdunlde]

How do you set up Word (or excel) to automatically show
the folder you want to open rather than having to go thru
the channels of C.....than project a....then my
wor....Lets say you are working on a project and you are
saving and opening everything from ONE folder. You don't
want to waste time with having to click on the same five
different folders just to get to the same one you are
using every time....

any thoughts?

To set a default folder for your Word documents click...

Tools | Options | File Locations: select Documents, then
Modify. Navigate to the folder you want to set as default
for opening.

Also, if you have Word 2002, you can add the folder to the Places Bar,
making it one click away at all times.
