Saving documents to various folders

[paulic]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

On my new Word 08 program, when I save a document, I seem limited in my choices of where to save. When the drop down box for 'save' appears, the second choice is 'Where,' which I hit, choose 'desktop,' but then I get no expansion of options. I'm used to being able to open a progression of folders to drop new documents directly into the desired folder. But the only thing I've figured out on this is to save to the Desktop, then drag the new document into a folder that I've opened on the Desktop, an inefficient method. In past versions of Word, this step has always been apparent & simple. What am I missing? Thanks.

My experiences on my Mac with Word 08 have been similarly unsatisfactory. I am wondering if it is the utilization of Microsoft on Mac that causes this as it does not occur on my PC.

Click the chiclet button with the triangle on it [to the right of the file
name field] to expand the Save As dialog. You'll have the same navigational
operation as in a Finder window.

BTW: This is a nuance of Mac OS X, by no means exclusive to Word
