When I used to click "Save" or "Save as" it used to take me to a list of "recently saved to" folders from which I could select an appropriate folder to save my document. Now all it has is some weird list of folders which I must sort through until I find the latest folder I am saving things to. It is horribly cumbersome to have to sort through that list of folders from the root to find the latest (or last saved to folder). Can anyone please tell me how to restore the "recently saved to" folder structure?

Yeah ... just my luck. Nobody has ever heard of my problem and nobody has a solution. It's just that I cannot believe nobody else misses the recently saved to folder list when clicking on the save icon ...

I'm guessing you don't mean the Recent list here?

Actually that only appears if I click "More options..." (see attached). That list used to automatically appear appear as a list (not a window) under that field - as appears in the attached - but the attached is actually the My Docs folder structure - not a recently saved to structure (as used to appear). So the whole structure is different now than it used to be... I find it annoying to have to now either navigate through the whole My Docs folder structure to find my the last folder I saved something to - which when I am working on a project I save to one or two folders deep in that structure - or I must click "More options..." and then navigate through that window . I just want to see that list up front - like it used to display. It must be a setting somewhere, but I can't locate it...

Never seen that option, I'm afraid … but I notice you're working with a more recent version of Office than I am. I could imagine using Favourites for quick access to folders a few levels deep myself.

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.
