Changing the default location for inserting objects

I apologize if this is a newbie question, but I didn't see a similar
question in the archives at Google Groups.

I'm working on a 100+ page document, which requires, in one section,
pasting in Power Point slides, one to a page. Doing
InsertObjectCreate from File brings me to a different directory than
I want to work in. Is there some way of changing default settings
(perhaps in ToolsOptions) so doing InsertObjectCreate from File
brings up the folder these slides are saved in? Thanks for any help
you can give me! --Eva Whitley

Eva,

The default directory displayed when you do InsertObjectCreate from
FileBrowse corresponds to the location specified for Documents in
ToolsOptionsFile Locations. However, this setting also affects the
default directory for FileOpen, so you may want to implement the following
alternate solution: in Windows Explorer, right-click the folder where the
PowerPoint slides are saved and select Copy. Then, right-click on the
default location that is currently displayed when you browse for an object
to insert from file, and select "Paste Shortcut". Now, when you do the
InsertObjectCreate from FileBrowse, you can double-click the shortcut to
jump to the location where the PowerPoint slides are saved.

Regards,
Chad
