In this version, the favorites folder does not automatically appear. I
have
followed the instructions from the discussion group on how to add it to
the
"my places" bar.

How do I save files into this "favorites" folder now? It is no longer a
right-click option or an option under tools on the open window? Is there
a
quick way to do this other than creating a shortcut and then cutting that
shortcut and placing it in the folder?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Leigh Ann

In Excel: Tools, Options, General Tab, and change the Default file location
to the folder you want. Do NOT mess with the next line, Alternative startup
file location. Excel looks there and opens every file it sees.
