To move your Microsoft User Data folder out of the Documents folder follow these instructions:
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.)
