New Documents on Desktop
I have done something to cause my new documents to show up as individual
icons on my desktop. I don't want new documents to be saved with icons on the desktop. It is Word 2007 with Vista Home Premium. How can I get rid of the icons without losing the documents? |

New Documents on Desktop
Go to Office Button | Word Options | Save and change the path for the
default file location from the desktop to My Documents or wherever you want them saved. -- Suzanne S.

For the files currently on your desktop, use Windows Explorer to drag and
drop them from your (€śUser€ť) desktop folder into your document folder. || "Suzanne S.

Thank you both! I'll do that first thing in the morning.
