In Outlook 2003 how can you change the file location for when you are composing a new email and you want to insert a file. SO you go to insert then file, well by default it opens up to my documents folder, some of the sales people in my company want this changed but i searched high and low for the option to change, anyone have any suggestions.
 
I presume your using Word as your email editor. Open Word, Click Tools->Options->File Locations and modify the Documents file location. Obviously this will change it for Word as well.

Regards
 
That does not work, It yes works inside word but I do have words as my email editor and I changed that file location still the insert option reverts back to the "my documents" folder Thanks
 
Are you using Word or not for your email editor?

If not Click Right Click on "My Documents" on the desktop click Properties and change the target.
 
If I may suggest it: turn OFF Word as your email editor, it creates a lot of overhead. Instead use RTF, you can do the same formating there if that is why you use Word.
Cleanest is of course Plain Text.
