"save as" and placement of documents

[Guest]

Is there a way to permanently change the place your
documents are saved when you choose the "save As"
option? I know that you can force it to save to a
specific spot when you open new documents; however, when
you open documents that were already created and saved
elsewhere, they default to the original location.
Example: I would like my docs to save to my d: drive no
matter what. If I create a new one, it saves to the d
with the save as feature. If I open one from my c:\my
documents folder and choose save as, it defaults to c:\my
documents. How do I change that?

If you are up to writing vba code, you can force SaveAs to default to D:\My
Documents or any other place. Check out the MVP FAQ vba FAQ for tips on
overriding Word commands. It isn't difficult but if it is your first vba
project you may be overwhelmed. You would want to put these macros in a
global template which can be moved / saved in case your normal.dot gets
corrupted.
