Default document location in Word Viewer 2003
I'd like to change the default document location in Word Viewer 2003 from "My
Documents"--these are public access terminals, and people will either be opening from a removable drive or directly from the web. Since I have limited write access to the C: drive, the user gets an error if they try to start the viewer. Ideally, I'd like to have the default as either My Computer or even Desktop. Excel 2003 and PowerPoint 2007 viewers default to Desktop (at least they go there without the error message). Many thanks. |

Default document location in Word Viewer 2003
The default file location is set at tools options file locations
documents. You can set the location to the desktop that the user will see. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org donbarbituo wrote: I'd like to change the default document location in Word Viewer 2003 from "My Documents"--these are public access terminals, and people will either be opening from a removable drive or directly from the web.

Default document location in Word Viewer 2003
That may be the case in Word, but in the viewer, there is no file location
option. I think a registry hack is the only way to go here. Microsoft posted one for the earlier version of the reader, but it doesn't work for this one.
