This is the way Word normally works unless you're using Save As, in which
case Word defaults to the folder where the original is saved. The last-used
setting is not saved between Word sessions, however. At the beginning of a
session, Word defaults to the folder specified for documents on the File
Locations tab of Tools | Options.
