If there is, no one (to my knowledge) has discovered it.

Data Source folder
If your Excel folder is a sub folder directly off My Documents then yes.
Double click the MyData subkey and change the value to the name of your Folder (no quotes, no path). You don't even have to close Word  Inpractice this is essentially how I use it myself. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Data Source folder
Good to know. Since the only data sources I use that are not in Word are in
Excel, even getting to Excel Files would be a help (though I'd still have to drill down to the subfolder), though it's only one click less than starting with My Documents. -- Suzanne S.
