HOW DO I CHANGE THE DEFAULT DIRECTORY?

I am using Office Professional 2003. I can't remember how to change the
default directory. When the "Save As" box comes up, I want to be able to
click "My Documents" to find the folder to save it in, but have the "My
Documents" button point to my folder on the server rather than the one on my
hard drive.

I had it set up that way before I converted to Office 2003, but can't
remember how I did it.

Help!
 
You can change the default directory for documents on the File Locations tab
of Tools | Options, but I'm not sure whether this affects the Places Bar or
not. Certainly you can add any folder you like to the Places Bar.

If you change the shortcut settings of "My Documents" in your Start menu to
the network drive, it will be changed in most applications including Word.
