Changing your default file open and save locations If you do not save all documents to My Documents folder, you want to modify first place Office looks when you click on open or save. Many people like to save their documents on a network drive e.g. for backup or sharing ideas. I will show you how to modify these settings for Microsoft Word and Excel.
For Word go to Tools and then Options. Then tick on File Locations tab and then the modify button as shown in the image below.
When you tick on Modify you will get a browse window. Choose location you want Word to start with and tick OK.
For Excel go to Tools, Options and then General Tab. It seems a slight different but works similar way apart from you have to manually type in location rather than browsing to it.
