How do I force the save as folder in Microsoft word to open in "my documents"? In Internet explorer?

Question

Even after I have navigated to the my documents forlder to save a document in Word, the very next time that I try to save a document in word, "save As" opens into a "temp" folder, and if I don't catch that that is happening and go ahead and save it, it gets lost from the temp folder anytime I reboot etc.

Answer 1

Open your word go to [Options] choose the tab [File Location] click on Documents (it should be the first one on the list) then click the button [modify] then search the location where u want to save your word documents

Answer 2

Maybe it's me but I'm not clear on what you want. Let me just say that in My Documents, I have created folders for Access, Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

When I initially save a Word document and click File, Save as:
- at the top, click the arrow up or down until you come to the Word folder in My Documents.
- at the bottom give the file a name
- below filename, is filetype. Cl the arrow to select Word document.

Your file should be in My Documents, in the Word folder.

Answer 3

Click on word open it and click on tools go to folder options and click of open folder options click on folder options and check open in this folder only click on the folder you want to open like my documents click save and or OK and close and the same with explorer.

There's no actual way to "force" it, I believe. It depends on if the computer is being stubborn. But, if you open files from one folder enough times, it usually starts there.
