Default File Location not working?

[Guest]

I've used Word since version 6 and now use 2003 and for some reason Deafult
file location no longer seems to work. Just noticed in last couple of days so
think must have been OK before. When I click Open or Save As it goes to last
folder I worked in not folder shown under FIle Locations, any ideas.....
Thanks

I thought it had always done that.

The default file location is the folder Word starts in. After that it
defaults to the last-used folder except in the case of Save As, when it
defaults to the folder where the file being saved is stored.

Hi Suzanne

If the default is the folder Word starts in surely when I close Word and
then re-open it should go back to the default? I know that during a work
session it goes to last used but expect it to go to default if I close and
then re-open.... or does this only kick in when PC is completely closed down.
Thanks for your help

When you close and re-open (all instances of) Word, yes, it should be reset
to the default. Are you, perhaps, using Word as your Outlook editor? If so,
an instance of Word remains open until you also close Outlook.

Ahh - that will be the answer Tony, I am using Word as Outlook editor - a
useful piece of info, thanks a lot
