hey!
when i got my first (this) mac a month ago, i assumed that the "documents" folder inside my home directory would be for my texts, spreadsheets and so on.
i've just downloaded the trial for iwork 08, and it seems to want to use that folder as the default for opening and saving files.
what bothers me is that several programs have used that folder to store some of their files (especially microsoft, but also others)... and i really don't want to have those files mixed up with my important stuff.
so i'm asking you: do you use your documents folder? or do you have separate folders for your actual documents? if so, can you chance iwork's (and other programs') preferences as to where to look for opening/saving files?
thanks a lot!
