1. First, launch Microsoft Word, and select Options. If Word doesn't open automatically on this page for you, click File in the top navigation bar to get here.
2. A dialog box will open up called Word Options. Click the Save tab, and it will show the following window.
3. Change the default local file location to the folder of your choice. If you would like to automatically save items directly to your server folder, choose your desktop folder at this time by clicking browse. Once you select your server folder, something similar to this should show up in your box.
Once you are finished, click OK.
4. Close out of Word, and open Excel. Follow the same instructions as 1-2. Once you get to step 3, a window called Excel Options will open. In the same box as with the word, hit CTRL+V or right click and choose Paste for the correct link to show up. Click OK. Close out of Excel and repeat for any other Office program.
