Publisher 07 Default Folder

[Charliec]

I have Publisher 2007, how do I set the startup folder to something
other than "MyDocuments"?

I edited the properties and set the "Start-in Directory" to the
desired one, but when I launch Publisher and attempt to open a file,
it goes right back to "MyDocuments"

Thanks

Change the name of the My Documents folder
Do the following in these 2007 Microsoft Office system programs:
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Access
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save As.
InfoPath, Project, Publisher, or Visio
On the File menu, click Save As.
In the Save in list, click My Documents.
Click Up One Level .
In the folders list, right-click the My Documents folder, and then click
Rename on the shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of
commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu,
right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.).
Type a new folder name, and then press ENTER.
Note You may need to close the Save As dialog box and open it again
before the change is visible in the My Places bar and the Save in list.

Hi Ripton,

I wasn't looking to change the name of My Documents folder. Instead,
I was looking to point Publisher to another folder on my "E" drive,
leaving My Documents folder intact as it is. I have done this with
all the other Office applications I have (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
etc) but can't seem to find the approach to do it in Publisher. In
the other programs, the ability was located in the Options box(s).

Thanks

I'll be kind and call it an oversight - hopefully a temporary one.
