I am trying to publish to my Document Management Server from within Word 2007, but my Sharepoint server isn't listed (only "My Web Sites on MSN" is listed). How do I navigate to my server?
I feel stupid asking... I can publish from my desktop, not my laptop. I tried publishing from within Sharepoint and it worked fine. I thought it would automatically remember the path and show it to me next time...

I tried to create a worksite, but the creation failed. I did then start the web service, and gave my user account full administrative priviledges. Still no go. I did notice that when I came back to Word2007, to try it again, that it had remembered the worksite name I used the first time. So, Word 2007 does remember the site name, but does not put it in the network places. Unless you are using a roaming profile, I would not expect your Word 2007 on the laptop to know about the site names, or network places, in the desktop.

I found a possible solution. My desktop PC had the Folder Option checked for "Automatically search for network folders and printers". My laptop did not. I change the laptop and now it remembers where I have been.
Still, there has to be an easier way...

Where are you finding that option? And what is your OS on the desktop PC. I am not finding that in the Folder Options for Vista 64.

I'm on XP Pro. From the Windows explorer I click "Tools" > "Folder Options", and it's the first option under the "View" tab. I know Vista has those options, but they are a bit harder to find.

I guess I just had to figure it out myself. When publishing, in the "file name" box, just type the entire path. For instance, if the server is called "Server1" and the document library is called "Client Data", and the document is called test.doc, type the following:
http://server1/client%20data/test.doc
(the %20 represents the space between "client" and "data")
It will go there and it will create a new network shortcut for future saves.

Sounds like after you choose publishing, you clicked on the document server choice. I tried that, pasted in the URL before the file name, told it to go, and it put the document into the document library I had selected. I did not get a network place out of the process. I will check to see if it is there when I next boot into that client.
When I tried publishing it to a document worksite, the name field is separated from the site address field. In this case, it collects my credentials, starts the process, then says it can't do it. This user does have full admin rights to the portal and to the individual site collections, so it should work, but doesn't. I will see if putting it all on one url will work.

I tried creating a doc worksite using the one line approach but that failed. I next tried creating it as a subsite of the site I had explicitly given my user account permissions (rather than relying on inheritance) and the site was created. It did show a link in the upper left pane in which the doc worksite creation parameters were collected. But, I did not find any new links in the Network places. Also, the recent list in the open dialog box does not show where the file is stored. That is annoying. But no package is perfect.
Anyway, I consider my problems with the publishing wizard to have been permissions issues, which I don't really understand, and don't want to waste energy/time figuring it out. If Microsoft winds up committing harikari and disappears from the face of the earth, it will because it will have made its software so secure it can't be used.
