My WORD Mac 2008 is defaulting to my "Documents" folder every time use the "Save As" function.

The program never used to do this. It began when I re-loaded Office for Mac after a new hard drive was installed.

Historically, when I hit "Save As" the window would open for me to re-name the document and it would default to save it in the folder I had opened the document from.

However, now the original folder name flashes very briefly and then the folder changes to "Documents"

This is inconvenient because, in general I want to save the re-named document (it is usually a revision or update) in the same folder and the original document.

Not to mention the fact that it is disturbing to find my programs all of a sudden changing how they operate
