I use Word 2002. I save a lot of new documents in one particular folder
that is not in the "Save In" drop down list. Is there a way to add that
folder to the "Save In" list so I don't have to navigate through My
Documents and another folder to get to it to save the finished document?

Click to expand...

Why not make it your default Save Location, and then if you want My
Documents, click that in the Places Bar?

That sounds like what I want. I wasn't aware that could be done. What is
the procedure for this or where do I find it?

Thank you
 
You can change the default folder on the File Locations tab of Tools |
Options. But note that you can also add folders to the Places Bar by
selecting the folder, then clicking Add to My Places on the Tools menu.
