There is no need to SHOUT!!!

Create a folder called Works Documents and move all the Works documents into
it and/or set the default documents folder for Word to a different location
(Word Options > Advanced > File Locations > Documents)

Also note that in Windows Explorer, you can list your documents By Type.
Then all your .docs will be grouped and all your .wkss will be grouped. That
will make it easy to select all the Works files and move them into a new
folder.
