2.5 Quickly Change Your File Open Path


Instead of always using My Documents, this hack
shows you how to make Word open to the folder where your documents
really are.

Few Word workers keep all their files in the My
Documents folder. Much of the time
they're on your desktop or in a different project
folder deep on your hard drive. Sometimes they're
not even "your" documents; they may
live on a server across the office, or across the country. But when
you want to get to one of those files, choosing FileOpen
always sends you to the same place: the My
Documents folder.

Though you can change this default settingWord will open to
the folder of your choosingit involves a long trip through
ToolsOptionsFile LocationsModify. You
must then do some more mouse work as you browse for the folder you
want to use. Many users give up and resign themselves to starting
each workday with a trip through My Documents,
but a short macro provides an easier way.


2.5.1 The Code


This macro provides an interactive way to change the
FileOpen folder to the folder in which the current document
resides. Create the following macro, named
ReAssignFileOpen, in the template of your choice
[Hack #50] :

Sub ReAssignFileOpen( )
Dim sNewPath As String
Dim sCurrentPath As String
Dim sDefaultPath As String
Dim lResponse As Long
sNewPath = ActiveDocument.Path
' Current document must have been saved
' at least once to be in a folder
If Len(sNewPath) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please save this document first.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
' Capture the default path by temporarily resetting the current one
sCurrentPath = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath)
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = "
sDefaultPath = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath)
' Restore to the current path
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = sCurrentPath
' Prompt user to confirm change to current document's folder
lResponse = MsgBox("Really Change File...Open path to:" & _
vbCr & vbCr & _
sNewPath & "?" & _
vbCr & vbCr & _
"Press Cancel to reset to Default (" & sDefaultPath & ").", _
vbYesNoCancel)
' Process response
Select Case lResponse
Case Is = vbYes
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = sNewPath
Case Is = vbNo
Exit Sub
Case Is = vbCancel
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = sDefaultPath
End Select
End Sub


2.5.2 Running the Hack


When you run this macro, you'll be prompted with the
dialog shown in Figure 2-13, asking you to confirm
the change. If you select Yes, the next time you choose
FileOpen, Word will place you in the chosen folder.


If you point this setting to a folder on a network drive and select
FileOpen while no longer connected to the network, Word
will return to its default FileOpen folder (usually
My Documents).

For quick access to this timesaver, put a button for it on the
Standard toolbar [Hack #1] or
add it to the File menu [Hack #3].
