(Click on File>Save As instead of If you select Save As and choose a different location you will then have the old version in its old location and the new version in the new location. If you are saving a newly created document it will automatically be saved to Documents unless you choose a different location in the "Save" dialog box. To move a document from the default location to a new location right click and hold on the document, drag it to the new location, release and then select Move. This will copy the file to the new location and delete it from the old location. Then when you open it, edit it and save it, it will be saved to the new location by default.

I want it to take me to folders I already have in my documents not in the library. This is very annoying to me. I use windows 7. thanks Christy ------------------------------------------------------------ --- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
