Before attempting to move Microsoft Office documents it is recommended that you check the locations of your files. If you frequently save your documents in a different place on your hard drive rather than the My Documents folder, it can get tiresome navigating through the folders on your hard drive. Fortunately, the default location where Microsoft Office applications, save your files can be easily checked. Open the applications and do the following from the application toolbar (see the Microsoft Word example):

Word 2002/XP/2003:	Tools, Options, File Locations
PowerPoint 2002/XP/2003:	Tools, Options, Save
Excel 2002/XP/2003:	Tools, Options, General
Access 2002/XP/2003:	Tools, Options, General NOTE: Must open a blank database to do this...
Word 97:	Tools, Options, File Locations
PowerPoint 97:	Tools, Options, Advanced
Excel 97:	Tools, Options, General
Access 97:	Tools, Options, General

Use the following procedure to set the default location where MS Word is to save your files.

1. From the Tools menu select Options.
   
   
2. Press the File Locations tab from the Options window.
   
3. MS Word 2003.
