** word and excel file locations help please**
      #400349 - Mon Jul 14 2008 09:33 AM

over the weekend i mistakenly cut and pasted all my documents in word 2003 and excel 2003 to my external hard drive. i have transferred them back to my laptop but when i go to open a document i keep getting the message that my external drive is not connected (which it isn't).
how can i set word and excel to automatically get my files from its old location without me having to select> c: drive > users > my name > documents etc??
many thanks.

Open Word

Go to Tools | Options

Click File Locations Tab

For Documents, Highlight it and click modify

Change the location to your default location

In Excel go to Tools | Options | General tab

Put in your default file location
