Change default document path for all programs in Office Suite?
How can I change the default document path for Office programs to a specific
path that I want to use, rather than being stuck with \users\myname\documents\etc? I have been able to set the 'save path' in Excel to where I want, but not the 'open path', and I can't even see how to set the save path in Word, Access & the other Office programs. Marian |

Marian I should have said that this is Office 2007 I'm talking about. I know how to change the default document paths in earlier versions of Office. |

I think Office applications are somewhat consistent for the save path.
For Word, Excel, PowerPoint: Click on the "Office" button (or press Alt+F) and click "app Options" (or press I), click the "Save" category on the left. Check the "Default file location" box. For Access: Click on the "Office" button (or press Alt+F) and click "app Options" (or press I), click the "Popular" category. Check the "Default database folder" box. - Chirag PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html "Marian M." wrote in message ...

Thank you. Your instructions qre clear. I also figured out that I was leaving
out the backslash/stroke at the end of the path. Marian "Chirag" wrote: I think Office applications are somewhat consistent for the save path.
