If you frequently save your Word 2007 documents to a different location, here is how you change where you want your Word documents saved by default.

1.) Open up Microsoft Word 2007 and click the Microsoft Office button.

2. Click the Word Options button located at the bottom of the window.

3. When the Word Options window opens, select Advanced from the choices in the pane on the left side of the window.

4. Scroll all the way down until you see the General section. Then click the File Locations button.

5. In the File Locations dialog box you will see a list of File Types. From that list, select the one called Documents.

6. With Documents selected, click the Modify button.

7. At the top of the Modify Location window, click the drop-down arrow to select the location that you want your files to be saved to. You can also select a location from the Organize panel on the left. The location that you choose here is where Word 2007 will default to when you save a Word document.
