Word always opens to the folder saved in tools > options > file locations >
documents.
If you open a document from or save a document to a different location, Word
will keep that location in focus until you change it to something else until
Word is closed then re-opened.
In addition, Word will save documents to the folder you opened them from.
If you wanted to make the default document location the same as the last
folder you saved to then you could do this by intercepting the Word commands
used to save the documents and adding the code to change the default
location -
Sub FileSaveAs()
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
MyPath = ActiveDocument.Path
Options.DefaultFilePath(Path:=wdDocumentsPath) = MyPath
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub
Sub FileSave()
ActiveDocument.Save
MyPath = ActiveDocument.Path
Options.DefaultFilePath(Path:=wdDocumentsPath) = MyPath
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub
Frankly I am not too enamoured with this idea. You would be much better
using links to your folders - see
