How do you create folders
i.e. Letters, Memos, Presentations etc in word

RE: Folders

Hi Sue,
Thank you for your post, Welcome to the forum, I hope you are enjoying your Excel course today, (7/7).
In answer to your post, I take it you wish to create folders so that you can maintain a tidy desktop (My Documents) folder, in order to do this follow these steps:
When you come to save your document, select File, Save As and in the dialog box that opens check out the top line of icons, one of them has the picture of a folder with a bright shiny glint on it, if you hover over this icon it will give the tool tip 'Create New Folder' click on it and a little dialog box will open prompting a New Name for your folder in your case; Letters, Memos, Presentations etc. Click OK and open the new folder if it is not already open, Save your document to that Folder, once your folder has been created you can use it over and over again in the normal fashion.
I hope that has helped, regards Pete

Word tip:

Changing default folder location for opening and saving

If you are always opening documents from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the File Locations tab.

3. Under File Types, select Documents.

4. Use the Modify dialogue box that appears on your screen to navigate to the folder you wish to set as your default.

5. Select the folder, click OK, and click OK again.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving documents.
