How can I get Word 2000 to default to the last used folder instead of to My
Documents, when saving *.doc files? I do not see any other option in
Tools/Options/File locations - Documents.
TIA John
 
Hi John

I think the short answer is: you can't. You can, however, use the Most
Recently Used file list to open a recent document. Click File on the menu,
and down the bottom you'll see the last few documents you opened. And, if
you find that useful, do Tools > Options > General and change the number of
files listed in the MRU list to 9.

Hope this helps.

My suggestion would be to use a macro named FileSaveAs (so that it intercepts
the File/Save As command) and pre-set the path. For example

Sub FileSaveAs()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = "C:\test\"
.Show
End With
End Sub
