Default Publisher 2007 Default File Location

Would like to change the default file location for MSPub documents to my
existing folder PubDocs.

In Publisher 2007, there is no way I can find to change the default file
location to my folder PubDocs either under Tools:Options or Tools:Customize.
Would like Publisher 2007 to default to PubDocs for both opening existing
files and saving new ones.

Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

Default Publisher 2007 Default File Location

The closest solution:
Save as, browse to the folder, right-click the "Save in" task pane, add the
folder you browsed to. Next time it will be readily available.

Yes, but this only makes the default location change for one session. Next
time I start up Publisher 2007, it defaults back to the My Documents folder.

Anyway to make a PERMANENT change? For example, can I create shortcut that
specifies default folder PubDocs, here is change I have made to MSPub.exe
shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSPUB.EXE" /b
But this just opens blank document.

The folder will always be listed in the Look In task pane if you added it. It is
one simple click away.

Default Publisher 2007 Default File Location

Ok, thanks much.

What are the procedures so that the "Task Pane" toolbar does not appear as a
default?

Using the command "Tools: Customize: Toolbars" I can unclick "Task Pane" so
this toolbar does not appear for the session. However, when I reopen a file,
the Task Pane toolbar appears again as a default option.

This is something I cannot give you advice for, I have tried several things to
get the Format task pane not to be opened when Publisher opens, nothing works.

The Task Pane is a tear-off, you can resize it to quite small and drag it to a
less obtrusive area of the screen. It will remain there when you close and
re-open Publisher.

If you have Windows XP, use *My Places*. Create a folder, when you save, it will
be one additional click.
If you have Vista, Create a folder, drag the default folder to Favorite Links.

I have a short term resolution to this problem.
Make a default template save it in the Default folder. Delete the "Publisher
program [shortcut]" from the start programs menu. Then make a short cut to
this template in the start menu. You may also want to change the icon for
this shortcut making it loot like the orginal. This is only an interim
solution, but it works.
