Now that's a better way to look at it. As I said,, when MS started doing this, they were the only ones, there was no better place. Apple had only just created an official "blessed" Documents folder in OS 9. The only alternative would have been somewhere in the System Folder - worse idea. Now that OS X has a Library folder within the user folder, where most users don't venture much, and an Application Support folder within that, it looks like a good place. It would be a very big change to how Office works to do this (and will surely upset lots of people used to the present setup) so don't expect it for any sort of dot update. It might be something they could think about for a major version. Time will tell. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - 2004, X or 2001.
