I would like to change the default location where
PowerPoint 2003 opens when I use "Insert Picture - From
File". In older versions of PowerPoint you could do this
in the Options settings. Any ideas?
 
Peter,
Take a look at the following page:

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.
Instead, you would have to modify the system registry (not supported) or
use some other workaround (shortcuts) to make it easier to get from your My
Pictures folder to where you want to go.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint (actually this is an Office-wide behavior) provide this kind of
functionality, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
