Q1 -- Which version or Word are you using? 2000?

Q2 -- Yes. Go to Tools -> Options and pick the File Locations tab. You can modify the default file locations from there.

1. To my knowledge, the places bar cannot be deleted, even though it's true that it can be customized.

2. Are you trying to change your default directory? If so, choose Tools, Options, and click the File Locations tab. Under "File Types" select the "Documents" line and modify the "Location" to be the server, drive, or folder you want Word to use when you use File Save, SaveAs, or Open options.

I hope this helps !
