changing the save location

Go into the office 2000 apps and click on the "tools" menu. Select "options." Each office 2000 app has a different area where the defaults are located. For example Word's default locations are under the "File Locations" tab under options. Excelsdefault is under the "general" tab in options.

Right now I don't have Office 2000 in front of me, so I'll need to speak to Office 97. However, I believe this feature has remained relatively unchanged in Office2000.

Each of the Office applications has a default save location which is under "Tools", then "Options" for each application. In Word97, it is under the "File Locations" tab, the first item is "Documents". You may select "Modify" and browse to the default location you desire. In Excel97, it is under the "General" tab, the field called "Default file location". There is no browse option, so you'll need to enter the desired path. Powerpoint97 is under the "Advanced" tab, again the field called is "Default file location". Access97 is under the "General" tab and the field is called "Default database folder".

I'm sure you will find this very much the same in Office2000.

On the computers that are windows 2000 if the my documents folder is on the desktop you can go to properties of that and change the target. This will make all of the office apps default to that location because they look for the my document folder. For win nt machines you have to go into each office program and set it like the others explained.
