Thanks, Beth,

It's different. I couldn't find an autorecover documents specify-locations
link as you did in Word 2001. Here's the closest I got in Word 2004 Help
(which, unfortunately, doesn't allow copy and paste to another document),
so, from my notes:

1. On the Word [not the Edit] menu, click Preferences and then click File
Location.
2. In the File Types box, click Documents and then click Modify.
3. Locate and click the folder you want to choose as the default.

I modified that somewhat for my purposes and in #2's File Types box, clicked
on Auto Recover Files, instead of Documents. The rest worked fine.

Now, if Office 2006 would allow one to command-c copy from Word, Entourage
or Excel Help and paste into other documents, such as messages posted in
these newsgroups or into customers' Entourage Notes, that would be cool.

Respectfully, Norm
