Renaming File Save Location Folder for Microsoft Word 2007

[ron37]

I have one of my folders saying Ronald38 in my Windows Vista and in my
AppData Save location Roam folder it saves documents in the Ronald36 folder.
How do I go about renaming my folders where everything is the same? I want
them both to say Ronald38 rather than one as Ronald38 and the other as
Ronald36. It won't let me rename the save location when I go into Word
Options and the Save category to rename that folder. How do I do this?

I went to Windows Explorer and found my Ronald36 folder but there is not an
option when I right click the folder to rename it Ronald38. I guess it won't
let me rename the default user folder.

You cannot rename a folder that is in use, nor can you rename a folder to an
already existing name. In the latter case, move the files from one to the
other then delete the unwanted folder.

What is the process of doing that?

This is elementary Windows file management and has nothing to do with Word
per se. Use Windows Explorer or its Vista equivalent to move files around.
