Word 2007 saving to wrong location

The Word program in the installation of Office 2007 on my Vista computer is saving to the wrong location.

It's currently saving to C:\Users\My Name\Documents whereas I'd like it to save to C:\Users\My Name\Documents\My Documents where all the documents that were transferred over from my old XP PC are located.

How can I change the path to the other location permanently?

Many thanks.

file, save as, and then choose the 'save in' folder. It'll keep saving there until you choose somewhere else
