Save and Save As to Specific Document Folder

How do I "save" or "save as" a new document (including one opened from an e-mail attachment) to a specific folder in Documents? When I either command, the window that opens does not enable me to save to specific folders in Documents (as I was able to do with Tiger and MS Office 2004) it only permits me to save to (i) Documents (but not specific folders within Documents), (ii) a folder that I had recently opened, (iii) Desktop, and (iv) possibly other destinations.

It's an OS X issue, but it's nothing new - click the little jelly bean to
the right of the Save As: box to expand the dialog.

Try the following:

place cursor anywhere you want in document.
now hit space bar to add a space.
without touching anything hit delete.

Word will now perceive that you have made a change in the document.

Now go to Save As...

Now when title of document appears, click on the disclosure triangle
next to the document. The window should open up some more

another button appears with the current location of the document.

Click on that and another triangle appears.

Highlight this and choose desired location from there. Once you have
chosen a resting place for the File it will always go back to this location.

another method is to locate document drag out of documents on to desktop

Then locate directory you want placed in. Open then drag file from
desktop to new location.

Then double click on document do save as and check to see if will be
saved in desired location. if not locate desired location per
instructions above and save. After this point should automatically save
in current position.

this is a darn good question.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
