Word: Change the Default Save As Location
Chances are good that when you click the Save button on a newly created Word file, the Save As dialog open to your My Documents or Documents Library folder. This may suit you just fine. If it does not, you probably figure, "What the heck. All I have to do is navigate to the folder I want." Well, my friend, I am here to tell you that life is too short to hunt through the hierarchy that is your computer or network when you can change the default Save As location in just a few simple steps.
Of course, these steps vary slightly between different Word versions. If you are using Word 2003 (or earlier), open Word and go to the Tools menu. Select Options and then go to the File Locations tab of the Options dialog box. Click on Documents if it is not already selected and then click Modify. Head on over to the folder on your computer or server that you want to set as your default Save As location. Click OK, click OK again and you are done.
In Word 2007, click the Office Button. Click on Word Options down at the bottom right. Click the Save tab on the left side of the pane. Click Browse next to Default File Location. Find the folder on your computer or server that you want to set as your default Save As location. Click OK, click OK again and you are all set.
Word 2010 is only a hair different from Word 2007. Go to the File tab and click on Options. Go to the Save tab on the left side of the pane. Click Browse next to Default File Location. Find the folder on your computer or server that you want to set as your default Save As location. Click OK, click OK again and you are good to go.
See you online!
