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 |

Changing the default location for inserting objects
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.
