[QUOTE="Caff3, post: 1646036, member: 346189"] I have a 6 month old MacBook Pro retina running OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. Since day one I have had an issue with Word and Excel documents (I suspect also with Powerpoint but I use those less often so haven't seen the behavior with that) If I use 'Save As', randomly (about 3 out of every 4 times) it will save the document somewhere other than the folder that it was opened in. Usually it is saving them to Documents but sometimes other places. I have to be vigilant to notice which folder it changes to in the save as box and switch it back to the original. I used many of the same documents on my old MacBook and didn't have these issues. I have spent many hours on the phone with Apple support - always ends up with them telling me to contact Microsoft support. When I call Microsoft support they always tell me it isn't a Microsoft issue and I need to contact Apple. I am at my wits end with this as it is causing me to not have latest versions of documents when I open them. I have no choice but to use Office as I am jointly working on documents with my colleagues who all have PCs. Any suggestions greatly welcomed. [/QUOTE]
