Changing the File Save Location in Microsoft Office 2007

By default, Word 2007 stores your documents in the My Documents folder. This means you always know where to look for your files.  However, you may want to store your documents in a different location. 

So, if you want to specify a new default save location, you can. It will save you time, and you can be sure that your documents will be stored in the folder of your choice.
