Thanks for the help. Absolutely. In Windows explorer, right-click on the file and do Send-To Desktop (as shortcut). |

| | Re: Document to Desk Top right click on the document, drag to a blank area of the desktop, You can now choose to make a shortcut to the document placed on the desktop or to actually move the document from where it is to the desktop. (my personnel choice would be to make a shortcut).

Or if your familiar with Windows Explorer just open the file location, right click the file and drag to your Desktop when you release the mouse button you will have an option to create a shortcut. Also if your Windows Explorer window is maximized you can drag the file to your taskbar and hover it there for a second or two then Windows Explorer will minimize and you can then have access to the desktop. Just don't let go of the file until your at your desktop. You can also do this directly from within Microsoft Word's OPEN FILE (or what ever program you use to open your document) |

Best we can do is let them know the various ways and just let them choose what works best for them. |
