Why can't I see MSWord Folder?

[lpaigeg]

When I install a program myself, XP creates a folder for
the application. Susequent files can then be placed in
that folder.

The MSOffice suite came with my work computer. There is a
folder for power point, but not for Word. If I use the "My
Computer" icon on the desktop, all I find is a msword9.olb
file. Is it possible that Word was not installed correctly
and that's why it doesn't have a folder?

My computer is also networked. MSOffice was supposedly
installed via the network.

WORD puts documents in the MY DOCUMENTS folder by default.
You may create as many sub-folders as you want or need to
organize your work.

Not sure what you're asking for...

For Word 2002 (from Office XP) the program location is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Winword.exe

By default files are saved to My Documents.

You don't want to put anything in the Word folder. Create a folder for your
documents on your hard drive. Or use My Documents, which is where Word will
want to save to by default.
