When I want to insert a file into an existing document Windows XP uses the
default "My Documents" as the supposed source of the file to be inserted as
in "select file to be inserted" and shows only "My Documents" as the source.
The file I want to insert is never in "My Documents" (for a good reason). Is
there any way I can tell XP not to us "My Documents" but another source and
have it go back to that site repeatedly?
thanks

G'Day Robert,

If you look at
Tools>Options>File Locations
you will see various locations that you can modify.

There is only ONE default for documents, and that is usually My Documents.

If you change it, Word will go there (by YOUR NEW default) for all documents.

If you think about it, your need could be satisfied only if there were separate
defaults for:
Open
Save
Save As
Save As Web Page
Insert ....
