In Windows, your Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents save to the My Documents folder by default. However, if you save your documents to a folder on the network or another location, you always have to navigate to another location every time you need to save a file. Change the default so your Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2007 files automatically save to the correct folder. Follow these steps:

1. Click the Office button
2. Click the Word Options button (Excel Options or PowerPoint Options)
3. Click Save
4. Under Save Documents, click the Browse button next to the Default File Location text box
5. Navigate to and click the folder you want to be your default
6. Click OK twice
