[Macpartners] Office 2004 Save As destination

[Scott R Ehrlich]

I have a user with Office 2004 who, when trying to save a document opened from
another source (i.e. network drive, email attachment, etc) and selects Save As,
the destination ends up being where the document was opened from (i.e. network
drive).

She wants the default location for ALL documents opened from within any of the
apps in the Office suite, when Save As is selected, to default to Macintosh HD
(the root of her hard drive).    I have visited Preferences/File Location for
PowerPoint and Word, selected Macintosh HD as the location, but Save As only
seems to save their by default for newly created documents.

What am I missing?   She said it used to work.   I applied the latest Microsoft
patch, hoping that would do something good, but it doesn't seem to have
affected anything.

Thanks for any insight.
