Saving pictures to My Pictures

[KP]

Hi,

I have Publisher 2002, Windows XP. I've worked with Publisher for years so
I'm pretty comfortable with how it works.

My question is about saving pictures. 99% of the pictures I edit in
Publisher are then saved in designated folders in My Pictures. No matter if I
select File, Save As or right-click and select Save as Picture, I always have
to follow the same procedure:

1. Save My Documents
2. Select file "My Pictures"
3. Select designated project folder
3. Change type from gif (default) to jpeg

I've gone into Tools, Options to modify these settings and so far I'm only
successful in saving directly into the designated folder if I make it the
default. Even then, I have to select the file type.

Is there any way I can save pictures as jpegs directly into a designated My
Pictures folder? It is really time-consuming to go through all these steps
when I'm saving dozens of individual pictures into one folder at a time.

Thanks.

When you save as, click on the designated folder you will use (don't open it),
click tools, select "Add to My Places." This folder will appear on the left
pane, saves a few clicks.

Thanks, that definitely saves a few steps. If anyone knows how to change the
default file type to jpeg, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks.
