This might seem like a simple question but I have had my Excel set up by an IT Engineer and he has made my default location when I open a new folder/file/document the wrong place. Every time I start a new spreadsheet I have to change the drive, the location, and the folder. I have searched and searched for Excel Settings, Excel Help, New File Location etc etc. But I just cannot find how to change this. Please can anyone help?

What is the right place? If it's OneDrive, you can force that through the OneDrive settings dialog.
 
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply Ali. I found it by searching for the word Preferences and discovered where Excel Options were at last! I had been searching all along the top of the screen and had never noticed that it had moved to File (underneath recent documents). I have now managed to change where a new file is opened from.
 
Kind of you to bother to let us know - thanks! Glad you got it sorted. :)
