Change auto destination in Save As ???
One more question please......How can I change the
opening destination? When I clicked on File/Open, it opened into the My Doc's on the C drive rather than the My Doc's on the E drive. "Nick Hodge" wrote in message ...

Strangely, you can't (Well there may be a setting in the registry, but not
wise) -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Bubey" wrote in message ... One more question please......How can I change the opening destination?

Change auto destination in Save As ???
It does here. Both the Save As and File Open dialogs open to
the folder I have specified in File locations. The one that bugs me and I can't change is the Insert Picture from file. It always goes to the My Pictures folder in My Documents. I use Excell 2000. Regards Martin |

Change auto destination in Save As ???
Yeah I tend to do most things from Windows Explorer with the
odd File Open here and there. People are always telling me that it is more efficient to use shortcut windows and drag and drop etc. Funnily enough the same people always come to me when they are looking for lost files or when folders and files get all muddled. The most common statement is "I'm sure I saved it, but when I went back this morning it wasn't there. Cheers Martin |

We have decided the default file location under ToolsOptions...General, works for both open and save. It will not obviously work for New... which defaults to the template location -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Bubey" wrote in message ...

Default template locations must be changed in Word, I can't explain why.
