Default Send to macro

This is a windows rather than Word thing! I'm not sure how to do it with a
macro, but you can add it to the Send To right-click menu.

In Vista, you need to go to your profile under
Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Startup and add a shortcut
to the folder you added to the Desktop. Now when you right-click on any
file, the context menu will open up and Send To: FolderName will now be
available. WinXP is similar but under Documents and Settings somewhere.

Sorry, I hadn't made myself very clear.
I have already saved the documents to their relevant folders (i.e. for my
client's various projects).
After I have saved them, I would like to send each one to a folder on my
desktop so that they are all collected together when I come to send them
to him by email.

I used to have a macro similar to the "File | Send to: Floppy Disk" but
don't have that in my present office.

No need for a macro. As Gordon suggests, you can just use SaveAs and
select the location of the Folder. To make this easy, you can add the
folder to the Place bar in the File Open/Save dialog so that you can
navigate to it with one click. How depends on your version of OS and
Word.

When I type some Word documents, I would like to send them to a folder
on my desktop so that I can keep them together before despatching them
to a client.
I have created the desktop folder but can't work out how to record the
macro.
I would really appreciate some help, please.
TIA
