    How to Set the Default Save Location for Microsoft Office Word

       Information

    The procedure is the same to set the save default in the other Office programs.

    It also works the same in Office 2007 and Office 2010




    Let's get started!


    1) Open a Word doc, click the Windows button / "File" menu select "Save", at the top left select "Organize" then "Properties".

    I can't find your "Change default setting" file on my Desktop


    Am I supposed to download a file onto my desktop before trying this? I can't find any file to download in your tutorial, and the file mentioned doesn't show up on my desktop.

    Hello Cdorsey, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    There's nothing to download in the tutorial. "Change default setting" is just an example used in the tutorial to help explain how to do this in Office Word. That's all. :)
