Your e-mail application isn't Word and Word is not involved when you save a
document from an e-mail attachment. Outlook 2007, unlike some other e-mail
applications, including earlier versions of Outlook, saves attachments in
the My Documents folder. Documents always open from the folder they were
saved to. If you want the document to open from somewhere else, at the time
you save the attachment from the message, save it to a prefered folder other
than My Documents from the Save dialog.

I'm using Word 2007. I figured out how to save the default "Save"
location,
and it works fine when I am starting a new document from scratch. But
when
I'm opening a document that someone has emailed me, and do a "Save As,"
it's
still opening the "My Documents" file instead of the new file path I
created
(went to Word options in the Microsoft button, then clicked on "Save" and
then entered a new "Default File Location). Has anyone else had this
problem? If so, were you able to fix it so that it will always open the
new
file path you chose? Thanks.
