Am I right in thinking word 2003 only has a single default working folder
when saving and opening documents? I often need to open documents from one
location and save them to another so it would be handy if I could set open
and save default locations to be different.

I'd like to see a way to do this quickly from both the Open and Save As
dialog box - it takes too long doing this via Tools, Options, File Locations
etc. Sometimes I might want to do this several times a day if I'm working on
different tasks. (Maybe there's a case for being able to save different
default profiles and quickly change these at the click of a button depending
on which tasks I'm working on).

I'd also like to see a tick box option somewhere along the way so I could in
fact set the save and open default folders to be the same in case I ever
needed this to save having to manually select the same file path again.

Anyway thanks for reading - it's my first post to a 'discussion board' so I
will be interested to know if anyone else agrees or already knows a better
way etc.

Try adding the locations to the "Places Bar" on the left side of the Open
and Save dialogs:

Or, if there are specific documents you work on often, add them to the Work
menu: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm.
