A Filing problem

[scaraben]

I had occasion to reinstall my operating programme a few weeks ago, after which I had loads of tweaking to do to get things back to what they were. However I still have one little nagging problem and its this : I write a word document and then go to "File" and click "Save As" but it never appears in "MY Documents" as directed ! .............. So What I'm doing presently to over-ride this, is to send it to my "Desktop" and cut & paste it into documents. Can you tell me what I ought to do to ensure it goes directly to the file I want it to please ? I'm uncertain whether I have word 2002 or 2003 ... properties does not seem to tell me.

Have you checked settings in word to check and/or change default save location?
Also, when using 'save as' you should be able to specify where you want to save.
