Office 2007 woes

[PeggyP]

I am having a problem with my newly installed Microsoft Office Home & Student
2007. in Office 2003, when I would save a bunch of files (one at a time) to
the same folder, when I clicked on "save", the program would open to the same
folder each time. with 2007, I must choose where I want to put the file (in
this case "My Documents") and then scroll down my list of documents to select
which folder I want the item to be saved to. this is not only time consuming,
but I find it aggravating to have to repeat the same sequence over and over
and over again. I have tried using "help", but I must not be using the
correct terminology. any assistance would be deeply appreciated. blessings-
Peggy

I don't recall any Office component ever reverting to the previously-used
"save" location.....

well, my 2003 did... and not just once in a while, but all the time...

Did you possibly have an add-in? (I've used every version of Office since
v95 and I can't recall any of them doing that natively - they've all always
gone to the top level folder as defined in File Locations....)

Same experience here, 2000/2003/2007

For exampl eif you're in Word:
There's a setting in OfficeButton ("start") -->Options -->Save or Advanced,
I don't remember, where you set "working location/folder" or something to
that effect.
Yes it's availble in Office2007, I forgot where but it's as good or better
than Office2003
