Umm... I may be missing something here... I've read about three suggestions
and haven't seen what I think Roger Rouse asked for in the first place: to
set the default document directory.

Roger... Here is what I do. I think it is simple and doesn't require much
configuration gymnastics...

WfW looks for a number of things when you start it up.. One is a macro
called "AutoExec" (note where caps are). Just go to the Macro menu and
create a macro called AutoExec if you don't already have one (if you do,
just edit it).

All you need is one line for this macro. My looks like this:

	chdir "C:\DOCS"

I designate the drive because my winword is in D:\WINWORD (I have two hard
disks on my box). If you have one big partition, then don't bother with the
drive designator.

This will automatically set it so you "open" to "C:\DOCS" whenever you
start up WfW. Works fine for me....todd
