Do one of the following:
Change the default working folder for Microsoft Word only

2. In the File types list, click Documents.
3. Click Modify.
4. To select an existing folder to display as the default working folder
(working folder: The folder in which your documents appear when you open or
save them. If you select another folder when opening or saving, that folder
becomes the working folder. You can set the startup location of this folder
in most Office applications.), locate and click the folder you want in the
folder list.
To create a new folder to display as the default working folder, click
Create New Folder , and then type a name for the new folder in the Name box.
Rename or move the default working folder for Microsoft Office
1. Save and close all Microsoft Office files, and then close all Office
programs.
2. In Microsoft Windows Explorer or My Computer, move or copy any files you
want to find quickly to the My Documents folder.
If you use Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0, you can organize documents
in the Personal folder.
3. To rename the My Documents folder, right-click the My Documents folder in
Windows Explorer or My Computer, and then click Rename on the shortcut menu.
Type the new name for the folder, and then press ENTER.

Note If you already changed the default working folder (working folder:

select another folder when opening or saving, that folder becomes the
working folder. You can set the startup location of this folder in most
Office applications.) for Microsoft Word, that setting is not affected.
