  • Changing Default File Saving Location in Word

    The MS Word by default saves file in My document folder(In Windows 7 just ‘Document’).  Whenever we save a file without choosing the destination folder, Word saves the file in Document. These Document folder has restrictions. Only from the user name it created under that user name ‘Document’ folder has the right to open it. So it is ideal to save a files in a common folder or drive by default  if multiple users are using the file. Also if you are saving the documents in Documents folder, incase of OS reinstall you will lose the data. So it is highly recommended to save your documents in different drive. Unless the documents are confidential. Let us have a look into the same.
