How can I change the default "save" folder?

[john]

Aloha,
How can I change the default "save" folder?

When I open word or other office programs and save a new file these programs
default save location is My Documents, a folder that I never use. How can I
change the default save location for these programs?

Thank you,
John

In Word, try tools > options > file locations. You should be able to select
Documents and then the modify button. Browse to the folder you want your
documents saved in and click OK. I can't recall if that also changes
Excel's default location or if you have to do that in Excel. If so, it
should be in a similar place in the menus.

Hope this helps.
