[Guest]

I have many word documents on the same subject eg: board meeting minutes.
Instaead of having separate files in word each time i have a meeting, I want
to seyt up a folder called "Board Meeting Minutes", to store all the files on
Board Minutes?

You can do this in Windows Explorer, probably more quickly. But, you can do
it in Word, too.

How... depends on which version of Word you're using. As a general method,
however, choose File - Open. Navigate to the folder in which you wish to
create subfolders, the right-click in the file area on the right--but not on
any file or existing folder--and choose New - Folder. A New Folder is
created, and is selected so you can replace "New Folder" with a name of your
choosing. Type the new name and press Enter. Voila.

Creating folders to organize your documents is something you can do either
from Word, or using Windows Explorer. Either way, you're creating folders
into which you can save or move your documents.

From Windows Explorer, you click File > New > Folder, then type the folder
name.

From Word, in the Save or Save As dialog box, you click the Create New
Folder button and follow the same process.

Try to make sure you're inside the folder or on the drive in which you want
the new folder, otherwise you'll have to move it later.
