The first time that you use Office, a folder named Microsoft User Data is created in the Documents folder provided by the Mac OS. The Microsoft User Data folder contains an Office 2011 Identities folder that stores the Office database for each identity in its own folder.
1) Quit all open Microsoft Applications
2) Open a new window and navigate to /Users/<<UserName>>/Documents
3) Open another new window and in this window navigate to /Users/<<UserName>>/Library/Preferences
4) Drag the Microsoft User Data folder from your documents folder into the Preferences folder
You can now reopen all your Microsoft applications and they will automatically detect the Microsoft User Data folder has been moved into Preferences.
Having the Microsoft User Data folder in the Preferences folder makes it less likely to be accidentally deleted when a user is clearing out their documents folder.
(A Microsoft User Data folder will still be created in Documents if you are Using Microsoft Messenger for Mac. From what I can tell this doesn't contain any useful information at all. Please advise if I am wrong about this.)

A Smart Folder, also known as a saved search or a search folder, is a virtual folder that dynamically displays a set of search results. For example, you could create a search to find all the items in the Manager category that are flagged for follow up but not yet completed. This search can be saved as a Smart Folder so that you can use these search criteria later without having to manually re-create the advanced search.
