Hi Barry, Graham and all, Thanks for all the instructions, it finally seems to be working now at long last! In addition to my original question though: When I started writing a new document, and saved it, it appeared in the 'my documents' menu. Will I have to 'cut and paste' my files every time, or, is there a way of saving a new document immediately into the new created folder? Also: When out of the 'my documents' menu, and wishing to retrieve a file elsewhere, how too can I save it into the new folder? My appologies to all who are completely baffled at my seemingly simple questions. It's easy when you know how, but you always need to be told how first. I am relatively new to all of this, surprisingly, but am keen to learn as much as possible! Thanks for all your help and patience. Regards, Angela.
