Word 2003 - Default saving location?
I am trying to change the default save location when opening and saving Word
files in Outlook. I have gone into tools-options, but cannot find where this would be done. The default location is a temporary folder called OLK45 I sure could use some advise. Thanks |

If you open the file from within Outlook, Outlook puts it into the OLK45
folder. You can't change that. However, rather than opening it from within Outlook, if you right-click the attachment and choose Save As, then it will default to the My Documents location (if you change the location while running Outlook, it will maintain that location until Outlook is closed and restarted). Note that this the default for any attachments. If you open an attachment while in Outlook, it gets put in the OLK... folder. If you right-click and choose Save As, it goes to My Documents. Not just Word documents -- ALL attachments. This has nothing to do with Word's own Tools - Options - File Locations setting. That affects only Where Word looks when you choose File Open, or when you choose File - Save As when you first save a Document1, Document2, etc. window. The My Documents location normally (in Windows XP) is buried in the user's section of Documents and Settings. However, this location *can* be changed. For example, on my computer My Documents corresponds to C:\Documents instead. But, this is a Windows Explorer setting, not a Word or Outlook setting. I hope this helps. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "JasonD" wrote in message ...
