default location to save files is in a hidden folder

You could try setting the default save location to this PC and then when you initially save a file to a location on the PC, Office should then default to that location:

• Open MS Word
• Click on the File menu item
• Click on Options
• Dialog box “Word Options” opens. Click on Save settings located on the left menu
• On the right-hand side you will see a checkbox labeled “Save to computer by default”, check it and then click OK.

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
