Changing the Default File Save Location in Mac Word 2004

By default, Word saves your documents in your Documents folder. But you may wish to change the default save location. I like to save my documents on a different drive than the one containing the operating system.

To change the default file save location, use the following steps:


1. Click Word

2. Select Preferences

3. Open the File Locations section

4. On the right side of the dialog box, select Documents

5. Click Modify

6. Navigate to the location where you would like to save your documents

7. Click Choose

8. Click OK

New documents you create will be saved in the specified location, unless you specify otherwise. Documents you created previously will not be affected.
