File Open documents from a pre-set folder other than "My documen
I'm using Office 2003 standard edition; Windows XP Pro
When I open existing Word documents using File Open, I would like to have the "Look in:" box start with a specific folder on my computer ("C:\ORLT\") rather than "My documents" (which I never use). Currently, I have to navigate to "Local disk (C" and then to the "ORLT" folder before selecting the document I want to open. Word 97 somehow allowed the File Open to always start at "C:\ORLT\". Either it remembered from the previous session or there was a place to set the default folder for "Open". Thanks -- John |

Tony --
I had noticed the "File locations" tab before I posted my question, but was afraid to mess with it. Your suggestion worked....

Hi John,
Don't be afraid! You can't (at least in theory!) do any harm changing values in the built in dialogs - (almost) whatever you do can be undone - and if you get stuck, post the symptoms here and somebody will point you to the right option. The more you use them, the more familiar you'll get with them. -- Enjoy, Tony "John Cutler" wrote in message ...
