Can I change the default "Save As" options?

When I have finished a document and press "Save As"  the defalt is the Template name and the Folder is "My Templates" so i often end up saving a document as a template - very annoying?  Is there anyway I can change the setting so that the default folder is a document folder not a template Folder?
I hope this makes sense!!

You have at one point told Pages to save to My templates. You can alway redirect where to you want to save a document.
After clicked on Save as... you should get a new window similar to mine under here. You can then find where you want to save your document. You can create a new folder if needed.

  • How can I change the default save folder in MP Navigator for saved scans?

    I am using MP Naqvigator with my Canon MP600 multifunction device and saving to an external drive is clunky because each time I save a document I have to browse to the device and the destination folder. I have tried to find a way of setting the default save folder from /users/myname/pictures/mpnavigator to volumes/drivename/foldername so that it speeds up the process. I've looked at all of the preferences files for the MP600 in the application and support libraries but can't see any reference to that default path. I'd be very grateful for any solutions from other Canon users.

    It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.

  • Can I change the Default Save as PDF compatibility?

    The default for the save as pdf is Acrobat 6. Problem just started of my artboards not translating correctly in the PDF. Preview of the document is also very strange. Saved PDF will open correctly in Ai, but not in anything else including Acrobat and Apple Preview. Changing the compatibility to 8 fixes problem.
    I get that I can make a custom preset, action or script, but I really would like to just keep it simple if possible.

    Ok. I might have been a bit too sure the Illustrator Default existed. It might be inside the application. But it is possible that the Standard.joboption is the one that appears as Illustrator Default. If you save a new one try to replace that one. Standard is the only one that does not appear in the drop down menu under its name.
    The pdf job settings that have brackets around them are kept on the mac at: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/Standard.joboptions That is in the Library on your hard disk, not the ~/Library inside your Home area.
    The Illustrator Default job setting has settings like in the Compression area to use no downsampling. That means that if you place a 200 MB file into Illustrator it will be 200MB in the pdf. Downsampling takes any resolution above the inserted setting down to reduce the size of the pdf. Just to warn you.
    Hope this helps you some.
    (At my work I have to constantly use different pdf settings so I make custom settings to prevent mistakes when changing the settings every time. So I have one that has bleeding and trim and high resolution, one that is for low resolution and no bleeding or trim marks some for rgb workflow and others for cmyk workflow. )

  • Need help changing the default Save Path

    Hello,
    We are implementing SAP, and will be using Citrix as the source for the GUI.  One of our requirnments are, that we need to change the default "Save Path" that users save documents too.   By default, this is to the C drive, but, we need it set to a different drive (i.e. V: on the citrix server).
    We found this note on SDN (see below) - however, it does not explain how to change or add this registry value?  Is this done in the GUI options, or in regedit?  If in reg-edit, where abouts in the tree does it go?
    Thanks guys, and any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Richard
    (As of SAP GUI 7.20, patch level 4) the REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value InitSaveDir can be used to configure the default path and folder for users to save the reported information in case of an access denial due to security rules. If users change the default path and save the information to an individual location, this new path will be kept as long as the user does not terminate the program. When starting SAP GUI again, users will get the configured default path again to store the reported information, the individual path changes will be lost. If the registry value does not exist, the default directory is the document directory of the SAP GUI.
    By default none of the above registry values exists. In order to change the behavior of the security module, the registry values need to be created and set to the desired value. A not existing registry value means use the default.
    In this doc:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002444be-7018-2d10-e18e-a8c537198ef6?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

    Hi,
    "Security rules that are created for a large number of users can be centrally stored on a server by an administrator. The administrator can use the registry values below under the registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module.
    Note: For 64 bit operating systems please use the following registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module."
    You can use regedit for installing this values.

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save path applying to Win7 but not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    Thanks in advance.

    When a group policy is not applying, it is often that it has been linked to the wrong OU. Please first check this.
    You might also check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log.

  • Want to change the default save location- users have networked home dirs

    I am doing some work for a school which is still using iMovie HD because it allows them to save their movie projects wherever they want. The issue is that iMovie 08 and 09 do not allow you to change the location in which they save their movies. Currently all users/students have network home folders, so their home directory, documents, etc all pull across the network. All students are limited to 1GB of space, and the system is an older G4 Server- 2GHz with 1GB of RAM and 2x 500GB hard drives. Since the students can make some large projects transferring that data back and forth can kill the server. Currently they are staying with iMovie HD so they can save it to the local hard drive, and when the student comes back in for class they sit at the same machine- thus giving them access to their stored movie files.
    This summer they plan to upgrade both Xserves, but again internal storage in the Xserve is a joke and in my opinion not planned out properly. Which might require them to use one of the Apple Promise RAID units- major financial burden on a school.
    I wanted to see if there was a way to change the default save location for iMovie 08 or 09 to the local storage rather then the "Home" folder for each user.
    Thanks so much!

    wrong info.
    iM08/09 has a different file concept than iMHD6.
    Both versions allow to store Events (=huge files) 'anywhere' to usb or firewire connected, hfs(+) formatted harddrives. the Project files (=small files) can be de-located from 'internal' drive with vers09, for 08 you have to use a socalled symLink to de-locate Project files.

    I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
    utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
    per your suggestion:
    1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
    2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
    3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
    4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

  • How can I change the default application for a content type?

    Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

    This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
    xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
    makes okular the default.
    However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
    * Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
    the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
    # Document Viewer (default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    Now it has only 2:
    # Okular (Default)
    # Other
    I'd like it to read
    # Okular (Default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
    Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
    * Open With <whatever> , rather than
    * Save File ?

  • Can I change the default typeface in a document?

    Can I change the default typeface in an Illustrator CC document? (I wouldn't use Meridian to win a bet.)

    Open one of your new document profiles located at
    /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS6/en_US/New Document Profiles/
    Edit the normal character style and save. Now when you create a new document choose that new document profile.

  • Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

    Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
    When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
    The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
    Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
    I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

    You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

  • How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
    Hope that helps.
