Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

Change the Default File Location

SUMMARY: Change the folder that PowerPoint 2007 opens by default to load or save presentations.Bookmark and Share

By default, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 expects to open and save presentation files in your default Documents folder, which on Windows Vista is normally C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\. This keeps your presentation files in the same folder where, by default, word processing, spreadsheet, and other Office files are stored.

If desired, this location can be changed if you want to keep presentation files in a separate folder.

1. Click the "Office" button.

2. When the popup appears, click "PowerPoint Options".

3. The "PowerPoint Options" dialog box appears. Select "Save" in the left pane.

4. In the right pane, next to "Default file location", enter in your desired folder. Note that you will not get to see a folder dialog box, so this path must be typed in correctly.

5. Click "OK" on the dialog box to close it.
