Office saves docs in app folder - not in doc folder

[Jonny]

A friend has Office 2004 on Mac OS 10.3.8 and complains that it's
sometimes, randomly, saving docs into the Office folder in Application
instead of into the Documents folder.

He never said *which* of the apps in Office, though.

Is there a fix for this?

TIA

When you "save" a new document, you get a dialog box showing a proposed
folder location. Your friend needs to learn to look at this and browse to
the desired folder if desired.

Also, a little more info might be helpful....

Word, at least, will let you set the default folder to come up selected in
the save dialog--via Word | Preferences, File Locations. Probably the other
programs will too.

Sorry, but that's all info I got from him.
But I believe it's resolved by now.
Thanks anyway for replying. Appreciated.
