My research on the web seems to indicate that for some inexplicable reason
it is not possible to change the default location in Publisher 2007.

This is really annoying as every time I try to open a document Publisher
looks in 'My documents' and not the folder I use.

I found the following information on the web but when I click on 'Tools' in
the 'Open dialogue box' I do not get the option to 'add to my places':

"You can only add the folder to 'my places' and cannot choose a default file
location in Publisher 2007. When you go to save the file, in the save as
dialog box after browsing to the desired location to save the file, click on
Tools -> add to my places. So the next time you save or open documents, the
folder/drive which you have added will appear under the save in/look in."

Any help would be appreciated.
