default file location

[Guest]

when you "open" a document is there a way for it to open from the last folder
you already opened?

Thanks. Dixie

Yes, but since Word default to the location stored in Tools - Options - File
Locations - Documents, you would need two macros to do it... one macro that
automatically saves the location of the last-used folder (an AutoExit
macro), and another macro that automatically switches to that saved location
the next time Word is opened (an AutoExec macro).

Or... you could economize by using just one macro... an AutoExit macro that
resets the Documents location to the last-used folder each time Word is
closed. For help in doing this, I would suggest that you visit one of the
Word vba newsgroups.
