Sorry, you don't have to cumulatively select all the files, you just drag
the whole folder. And you don't have to hunt for the MS Word folder,
because you can use Find File to do it. (Of course, if you move the Word
folder, it'll probably break, because half the time MS software relies on
pathnames!!)

Have fun,
