Hi Al, others have suggested that after opening the save as dialog, you can type the complete path of the file into the filename edit box, for example c:\user\david\documents\bank\letter, were bank is a folder in your documents folder, and letter is the name for the new file. This works just fine, but there are other ways that involve less typing, and I'll describe one. You have to set some stuff up first, but it then makes saving reasonably straightforward, and you only have to type the file name.
A couple of things to do first in Windows explorer. The first is to add the folder bank (or whatever) to your favourite locations in Windows explorer. 1. Open windows explorer 2. Go to the bank folder. The list view should now show the contents of that folder. 3. Press shift+tab to move to the tree view. 4. Press home to move to the first item which is favorites. 5. Open its context menu, and choose add current location to favorites. 6. If you arrow down from favorites, you should now see that bank is one of your favourite locations. The second thing to do in Windows explorer is to make sure that the tree view opens to the current folder. 1. Open the tools menu, and choose options. 2. On the general page, tab to the check box "show all folders" 3. Press down arrow to move to the check box "Automatically expand to current folder". If that checkbox isn't checked, check it. 4. Press enter to press the default Ok button. With this now set up, here's how you could save a document to the bank folder: 1. After you've written a new document, press ctrl+S to save. The save as dialog opens. 2. The file name edit box is the initial focus. type in the name of the file. 3. Press shift+tab three times to move to the tree view. The folder that is selected is the current folder where the file is going to be saved. 4. If the current folder is the bank folder, you can just press alt+s to press the save button, or tab to the save button and press it. 5. If the current folder isn't the bank folder. press home to move to favorites at the top of the tree, and press the first letter of the folder (in this example b) until you select it. Press enter to change the current location to the bank folder, and press alt+s to press the save button. David. original message: Hi Adrian, Thank you very much, your instructions worked great!!! Now, how can I send a new document that I have just typed into a particular folder that is already set up? Thanks for any help.
