I'm a Mac user. I am frustrated with Word X (yes, I know it is old) because whenever I save a document, it saves to the last place I saved anything, not where the document is. For example, I am working in my Recipe folder and save something there. Then I move to my Work folder and if I save something I'm working on in the Work folder, without doing a "save as", it saves to my Recipe folder.



I've searched setup and preferences and cannot find any way to alter this. Is this just the way this program works?

I'm on OS 10.8.6, I have MS Office X

Hi
I am not sure what version of Word you are using but there may be an option, if you only use two directories, to create buttons on a Menu bar. One called Recipes and one called Work. You can then attach a macro so that when you click the button it saves to that folder only without having to use Save As.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Tony

My version is Word X, Service Release 1
I use far more than two folders (and those have folders within them). This version of Word is from 2001 at the latest.
Is there a later version (that is still available somewhere) where documents are saved to their location?

Hi
There have been many new versions since 2001. Suggest you look at the Microsoft Office website.
