I have two computers with Word 2007; one is running XP and the other Vista
Home Edition.
When working in Word 2007, on the XP system I click on Save As, select the
file type, and then a Save As window opens; this window has a Save In line
which defaults to Documents on the hard drive, but also permits me to save to
a CD drive. However, on the VISTA system, when I click on Save As and select
a file type, a window opens which also defaults to Documents, but there is no
apparent way to save to a CD drive. How do I redirect the file to the target
drive?

Also, on the VISTA system, I would like to automatically have my Word 2007
save to Documents on the hard drive and back up the file to the CD drive. Can
I set this up somehow?

Advanced users who want to automate tasks in Word have to look into
preparing 'Macros' to do the jobs they need over and over. Perhaps I don't
get your question, but Word has an Options setting for default folders, and
the "Browse" features don't seem to have changed much.

I am not an Advanced user, but not a novice either, except to VISTA. There
are two locations to set default folders. The first one is obviously set with
a path to Documents and works fine. The second location, I browsed and looked
for the E Drive where the CD is located; I thought I had the path set to this
drive properly, but when I saved a Word document, it saved it only in
Documents on the hard drive. Do I need to type in a path to the E drive?
