File Locations / defaults
Can you please explain how to configure my settings in word, so that it will
go to the last folder I was in, by default. For example: when I go to insert a picture from a file... I browse through my directory, find the folder and insert the picture. The next time, I don't want to browse... I want it to go directly to the last folder I was in to retrieve the next picture. I am sharing a work space, all 3 of us are using the same 2003 version (open professional version)... my computer is fine, but my two coworkers have to browse through their directories, each and every time. I've tried using TOOLS/OPTIONS/FILE LOCATIONS... but that is as far as I can get, and it's not helping this problem. I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much. Yvonne Scott. |

File Locations / defaults
If you have *any* path for "Clip art pictures" on the File Locations tab,
unfortunately, Word will always default to that folder. In order to make it default to the last-used folder, you must delete this path, and the only way to do that is by editing the Registry. Somewhere I have saved the instructions for doing that, because I keep toying with the idea; ah, here we go: In the Registry, find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Options folder. There should be a PICTURE-PATH key. You can either clear the value of this key or (I suspect) delete the key. If you don't want to edit the Registry, just add the folder you're currently using to the Places Bar, which makes it just one click away. -- Suzanne S.
