I think I've answered my own question after searching more on the web. From various posts going back to Acrobat 5, it looks like Adobe Acrobat can designate only one default folder -- My Documents. Several posters suggested the same workaround -- Create a shortcut to the folder of your choice, and place that shortcut in My Documents. Click on that shortcut to change from My Documents to your destination folder before you Save your scanned document. This does add an extra step, but it's a quick one to get you where you want to go. A benefit is that you can create multiple shortcuts to different folders. This can be handy if you frequently work in different folders and subfolders. To create a shortcut to a folder of your choice, here's what I did in Windows XP Pro. Fist, click on the default My Documents folder that Adobe points to. In my case, it was located in My Computer / Local Disk (C:) / Documents and Settings / Marie / My Documents. After highlighting the My Documents folder, select File / New / Shortcut. That opens the Create Shortcut wizard, which asks you to type in or Browse for your destination folder location. Once you've entered your destination folder name, click Next and type in a name for the shortcut. Click Finish and the shortcut to your chosen folder will be placed in the My Documents folder. You can create as many shortcuts to different destination folders as you'd like. I hope this helps if you've been aggravated by having to repeatedly drill down to different folders before saving your scans.

How do you change the language on Microsoft Word?

If you mean the language of the whole program: I don't think you can. You have to uninstal it and install it with the right language. Try going to the bottom of any word document. Click on the language tab (will show current language, eg. "English (U.S.)"). Select the desired language (eg. "English (U.K.)"). The select the "Default" button (to make it the default language for every future document).
