It's there, but is referred to as "default working folder"... and you're

Just in case you haven't found it - ToolsOptionsFile Locations, select
Documents, click Modify.

In the help files, I want to learn how to always open my Office files in a

find the proper assistance.

Shouldn't there be a "Save files to a default location" hyperlink?
