Default File Location not working?
I've used Word since version 6 and now use 2003 and for some reason Deafult
file location no longer seems to work. Just noticed in last couple of days so think must have been OK before. When I click Open or Save As it goes to last folder I worked in not folder shown under FIle Locations, any ideas..... Thanks Sheila |

The default file location is the folder Word starts in. After that it
defaults to the last-used folder except in the case of Save As, when it defaults to the folder where the file being saved is stored. -- Suzanne S.

Default File Location not working?
Hi Suzanne
If the default is the folder Word starts in surely when I close Word and then re-open it should go back to the default? I know that during a work session it goes to last used but expect it to go to default if I close and then re-open.... or does this only kick in when PC is completely closed down.

When you close and re-open (all instances of) Word, yes, it should be reset
to the default. Are you, perhaps, using Word as your Outlook editor? If so, an instance of Word remains open until you also close Outlook. -- Enjoy, Tony "Sheila D" wrote in message ...
