When I'm in Powerpoint and hit File Open, I want it to point to a folder
other than My Documents. How do I change it? I couldn't find anything in
Tools, Options. (I had no problem with Word & Excel.)
 
Glynn,

I believe if you start powerpoint, then go to the "tools" menu and choose
"options"

on the 'save' tab there is a setting called
default file location:

change this to what you would like
e.g.
c:\this-is-where\I-would-like-powerpoint\to-default-to\

cheers

This works for all version prior to 2007. To get to the options in 2007, you
need to click the Office button, find the PowerPoint Options button at the
bottom of that list and click it, then select the Save group.
