Change default document path for all programs in Office Suite?

[Guest]

How can I change the default document path for Office programs to a specific
path that I want to use, rather than being stuck with
\users\myname\documents\etc? I have been able to set the 'save path' in Excel
to where I want, but not the 'open path', and I can't even see how to set the
save path in Word, Access & the other Office programs.

I should have said that this is Office 2007 I'm talking about. I know how to
change the default document paths in earlier versions of Office.

I think Office applications are somewhat consistent for the save path.

For Word, Excel, PowerPoint: Click on the "Office" button (or press Alt+F)
and click "<app> Options" (or press I), click the "Save" category on the
left. Check the "Default file location" box.

For Access: Click on the "Office" button (or press Alt+F) and click "<app>
Options" (or press I), click the "Popular" category. Check the "Default
database folder" box.

It is much the same in 2007 - Word Options > Save > default File Location
for the templates etc Word Options > Advanved > File Locations (you can set
the document location there too)

Thank you. Your instructions qre clear. I also figured out that I was leaving
out the backslash/stroke at the end of the path.
