Favorite Folder Word Excel

It would be nice to have a list of all those folders you use time and time again in your "Save As" pop-up box in Office programs....well you can

Although in Tools --> Options --> File Locations (Office 2003)
and Word and Excel Options (Office 2007) you can define one folder as the default location for all "Open" and "Save As" clicks, there is also a different "Tools" option in the top right hand side of the "Save As" dialogue
(2003) and a right click option in the "Save As" (2007)

Office 2007

Open a file in Word or Excel
Click the Office Button (Top Left)
Click "Save As" and choose your format
This opens at the last folder you saved a file or the folder defined in "File Locations"



Now click on the folder you would like to Add to the list of folders, where the red hoop indicates in the above picture

In this instance we want to add Avaya

Now RIGHT CLICK on the blank area below the last entry



You can see an option to add "Avaya" is displayed

Click on this


Now Avaya has been added to the list and will always be available when you click save as in any office program

Office 2003

Open a file in Word or Excel
Click File (Top Left)
Click "Save As" and choose your format
This opens at the last folder you saved a file or the folder defined in "File Locations"
Now click on the folder you would like to Add to the list of folders
Next Click Tools (top right)
The option to "add folder to My Places" is displayed
Click on it and the folder is added after the last entry over to the left


n.b. by right clicking on the folder you can also "move up", "rename", "move down" or "delete"    IP
