No, there's no folder.

Viewing your questions depends on how you are accessing the groups, which
you didn't say.

The easiest way, probably, would be to go to the Google site for the group
and search for your name, or the email address you use to post:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word

That will show you all your threads, and you can reread the questions and
answers.

Alternate interpretation of question:

If you are using a newsreader like Entourage, then the questions you posted
might be in the Sent Items folder.

Unless somebody creates a web site of public forum posts, no, not
directly.

I use Google groups to review my past mistakes.
e.g. for you, a search field of
group:microsoft.public.mac.office.word author:[email protected]
ig Google's advanced group search (with a few of my defaults)
gives the complete url
<http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=&num=10&scoring=d&hl=en&as_epq=&as
_oq=&as_eq=&as_ugroup=microsoft.public.mac.office.word&as_usubject=&as_u
authors=nocookiemonster%40gmail.com&lr=&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=&as_mind=1&as_m
inm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=22&as_maxm=1&as_maxy=2006&safe=off>

and two threads of results.

Depending on your news client, you may mail yourself a copy of your
postings.

Again depending on your news client and news server's retention policy,
you may be able to get fairly recent postings via a search of any
groups you have posted to.

Here with Thoth, and my ISP's news server, I can see
6 posts from nocookiemonster, in three threads.

With Microsoft's own news server, such searches via Thoth do not appear
to work at all.
If you want to avoid leaving a trail, One of the options you have is to
set a "No archive" attribute one each post, which Google and most
reputable search engines respect. But do remember, you are posting on a
public forum, so anything you post may be remembered by anybody
anywhere.
