How do I set a particular page that will come up every time in Word? Right
now, I have to click on "C:" then "Documents and Settings" then "vivian" then
"My Documents" before I finally get to the page with the list of folders I
want to be on. How do I skip all those and get to the page with the list of
folders I want to be on right away?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Make a shortcut to on the Desktop. Go to the "page" you want and right
click on it and make the appropriate choice.

You will do much better if you ask your Word question in a Word
newsgroup, rather than here in a Windows XP newsgroup. I can help you
with many Windows XP problems, but not with Word problems. The Word
newsgroup is where Word experts hang out.

You can try to place the My documents on your Desktop to be able to open it
whenever you want to open a doc been saved in My Documents.

Hi Vivian

In Word [1], go to the Tools menu and click on Options, then click on
the tab called File Locations.

In the left column you'll see a list of different kinds of file;
Documents, pictures and so on. Click once on Documents to highlight it,
then click the Modify button. Browse to the folder you want to be your
default and OK your way out.

Now you should see this folder come up whenever you choose Open or Save
in Word.

[1] This is in Word 2003. There should be a similar option in later
versions but it may be in a slightly different place. If you can't find
it, look in the program's Help under "File locations".

Hope this helps :-)
 
Thanks! This worked great!

This link was very helpful. I printed it out and I'll keep in my "How To
Computer" file.
