Archived from groups: microsoft>public>mac>office>word (more info?)

hi i am an unskilled mac user. i often create word documents on my
desktop, and then want to save them to the appropriate folder at a
later date. is there a script of some sort or a trick that would allow
me to simply "move" the document to another folder (hit some
combination of keys, whcih would open up the folders and i would browse
until i'd found the right place to sequester my document?) thanks -
peter

In the Finder, hit Command-N. That opens a window in which you can
browse. Drill down till you find the right place to put the document.
Now drag the document in from the desktop.

If there are places you *commonly* like to keep your Word documents,
consider putting those places into the "sidebar" (the area on the left
of the Finder window). This makes putting the document into the right
place very fast.

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!!! Smile

Cheers
