Every time I launch Word and open a file I am presented with My Documents on
the C Drive. I put all my applications on the C drive and my working files on
the D Drive. How do I change the default to D Drive?

In Word 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | File Locations tab,
and modify the location for Documents to d:\ or d:\foldername.

In Word 2007, click on Office Button | Word Options | Advanced, scroll
down to the bottom, click on File Locations, and modify the location for
Documents to d:\ or d:\foldername.

In Word 2003 and earlier, Tools > Options > File Locations, change the Documents
location.

In Word 2007, go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced, click the File
Locations button near the bottom of the dialog, and change the Documents
location.

Thanks. I have Office3 2007 and it worked. I did the same for Excel and it
worked to. Funy how I have been working around this for 12 months and the
solution was so simple.

In Word 2002/2003 - Tools/Options/File Locations ... [Modify...] - the
rest is self-explaining.
