Installing the Default Save Files
To install a Default Save file, follow these steps:

folder to the Desktop.
- Use the Finder to open the appropriate Startup folder on your hard disk:
Microsoft Office 98:Office:Startup:Excel
Microsoft Office 98:Office:Startup:PowerPoint
Microsoft Office 98:Office:Startup:Word
- Drag the Default Save file from the Desktop to the Startup folder for
Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Word.
NOTE: Only one Default Save file should exist in the Startup folder for
each program. If you drag more than one Default Save file to the Startup
folder for a program, the Default Save format may be set incorrectly when
you start the program.
Installing Default Save Files in an Administrative Installation
If you perform an administrative installation of Microsoft Office 98, you
can automatically set default save formats for your users by dragging the
Default Save files from the Microsoft Office 98 compact disc to the
appropriate Startup folders on the network server.
You can include Default Save files in an administrative installation of
Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition by following these steps:
- Perform the administrative installation of Microsoft Office 98 by
dragging the Microsoft Office 98 folder from the compact disc to the
network server or by running the Microsoft Office Installer program and
specifying a folder on the network server as the destination folder.

OFF98: How to Install Office on a Network
- Drag the appropriate Default Save files from the Microsoft Office 98
compact disc to the appropriate Startup folders on the network
server.
When a user drags the Microsoft Office 98 folder from the network server to
the workstation computer, the Default Save files are included in the
installation, and the default save formats are set in each program when the
user runs each program.
NOTE: If a user installs Microsoft Office 98 by running the Microsoft
Office Installer program, the Default Save files are not installed on the
workstation computer. If this occurs, you must provide the user with manual
instructions for installing the Default Save files.
Using Default Save Files
After you install Default Save files and you then start a program
and save a file, the file is saved by default in the format that is
specified by the Default Save file in the Startup folder for the program
you are using. Note that you can override the default format by selecting a
different format in the Save As dialog box.
