While in Outlook, I open a Word attachment from an e-mail and make changes to
that Word document. Now I want to save those changes. But when I choose Save
As, it automatically defaults me to a save location. (in this case a temp
folder within the Temporary Internet Files). I want it to save my changes to
a folder and location of my choice. How do I do change this?

I have already used help in Word and Outlook and gone through the steps to
change the default location of saving basic e-mail files to the folder of my
choice. That works but I can't get the Word files where I want them when I
open them in Outlook.

You can't! Always save attachments to the hard drive *before* opening them
in Word.

Figures.

When we open a Word document in e-mail, we don't always know if we are going
to make changes, so there wouldn't always be a need to save it every time.
That is why I was hoping if we did choose to make changes and select save,
they would be saved to a default location of our choice without having to
choose save as and change the location everytime.

If you are going to perpetuate this bad practice, then don't be surprised if
you make further mistakes. Get into the habit of saving e-mail attachments
perhaps to a folder created for that purpose. If you don't want them later,
you can always delete them.
