Oh well, I suppose we just have to live with what Big Brother gives to us. It was probably an update that did it - But if they remove (or change) a particular behaviour that does not affect the core Office project - I just wish they would give us the option... (I mean it is only a "view" setting after all - they should have a button with otions of what folder structure you would like to see when saving things. e.g. "root directory" My docs, favourites, or last saved to..., etc.) - but perhaps my own silly fault for setting it to auto-update... thanks anyway eNGINe. Appreciate your time.
