Save As

[Mj]

When recieving word doc by email, when going to save as
it points to a temp loaction, is there any way of
changing this so that when i go to save as it points to a
folder at least some where near my drive

thanks

Mj,

That bugs me too and I don't like Word suggesting a
filename either. I use a macro to replace the builtin
Word FileSaveAs command:

Sub FileSaveAs()
Dim FileName As String
'change the next next line to specify preferred directory
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "\\spp1\spp50$\Word Documents\"
FileName = ""
Set UserSaveDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
UserSaveDialog.Name = FileName
UserSaveDialog.Display

End Sub

It bothers me too, now that I use a PC. In the past I
used a MAC that would remember the last window you saved
to and would always go back to it. So if you created a
folder that you liked to save to, it would always save
there and you didn't have to worry about, "Where did I
save that document?"
