# Changing Your Working Directory

When you start a dialog to open or save a document, LibreOffice initially displays your work directory. To change this directory:

1. Choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths.

2. Click \<emph\>My Documents \</emph\>and click the\<emph\> Edit button, or \</emph\>double-click on \<emph\>My Documents\</emph\>.

3. In the \<emph\>Select Path\</emph\> dialog, choose the work directory you want and click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

You also use this procedure to change the directory displayed by LibreOffice when you want to insert a graphic. Choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths - Images, then follow step 3.
