Microsoft Office - Save As locations

[koster]

In the left panel of the the Save As box for Office applications, there are shortcuts to frequently used locations - Desktop, My Computer, My Documents.

Is it possible to add another frequently used folder to this panel, for quicker access?

Get your "save as" dialogue box up and then navigate the folder level of that box to the level that shows the folder you wish to add to the left hand side menu.

Highlight the folder to add then at the top of the dialogue box click "tools" and then "add to my places"

It should appear immediately..good luck

Thanks, but I don't have the "Add to My Places" option.

I have:
Delete
Rename
Map Network Drive
Properties
Save Options
General Options
Web Options
Compress Pictures

I'm using Microsoft Office 2007 Beta. Perhaps it's different in Office XP.

Koster - haven't looked at 2007 yet but have you tried the Save options or the General options in your list? In previous version the method was to go to the main menu bar, choose Options and then File Locations. This gave you a list for My Documents, Pictures etc all of which could be modified. Let us know if you solve it in 2007.

I found the answer.

Right-click a blank space in the My Places bar below the existing shortcuts, and then click Add folder name.

Thanks to Camioneur I knew I had to search for My Places in Office online help. I hadn't known these shortcuts were called My Places.
