I often open an existing file, and do a save as to create a new file. When I do this with Word and Excel, the directory chosen to save the file, is the last directory that application saved a file in (as in the last file saved) , NOT the directory where the file was opened. This is inconvenient, and it is not how Powerpoint operates (which uses the directory where you opened the file).
I am Using Mac OS X 10.2.6. I remembered an old OS9 selection for what directory to use when opening/saving, and I rebooted OS9, and changed the selection from " use last directory for this application" to "Use directory selected by application". Then I rebooted into OS X, but no apparent change.
I searched Word Preferences, and could find no appropriate preference to set this. I also searched system preferences but could not find a setting. And I searched this site for references to this issue.
