documents won't open in MY DOCUMENTS

First off, it seems I have to go round the bend to get to
word. I first have to get into microsoft works, then word
processing. Whatever is saved, goes to history. There is
no desktop icon for word.
Secondly, it seems WordPerfect writes to My Documents.
Having invested in a new computer, I couldn't imagine how
much I would detest this aspect of the program. I
previously had windows 98, which unfortunately was not a
good fit for my current needs. Too bad because this has
been a real disappointment.
If anyone has advise, please feel free to email

Is there a question here amongst the rants?

If you don't have a shortcut on the desktop and want one there, then right
click the desktop and create one - or alternatively right click the shortcut
from Start > All Programs and drag a copy of the shortcut to the desktop.
Windows 98 was no different in this respect.

Most programs will write to the My Documents folder unless you tell them to
write somewhere else.

The history folder should contain only shortcuts.
