Hi Pete:
Don't loose sight of the fact that Word has a "default" location at which it
begins looking when you create or open files.
If you set that in Word>Preferences to be the same as your Documents
location in the Finder, then instead of allowing the document to save to
your desktop, you can hit File>Save As... Word will then open a Finder
window that enables you to browse for the correct place to put the document.
I prefer top create my documents in the correct location from the get-go.
That way, along with the "Official, completed" document, I have all the
"development" versions and all the supporting information I was using
collected in a single folder, in case I need to go back and PROVE to someone
that I was RIGHT in that document!!!
Cheers
