[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 1646045, member: 9169"] I am certain both Microsoft and Apple Tech Support have asked you this, but we'll cover it anyway. In Microsoft Word, did you set your default Documents location to your preferred space? You would go to: Word -> Preferences and under "Personal Settings" you'll see "File Locations." Highlight "Documents" and then choose "Modify" to set your preferred location. That should put all your saved files there. Are you using "Save As" instead of "Save" so you can hold on to multiple versions? If not, I'd suggest just hitting "Save." And even so, if you have your File Locations set in Word Preferences, "Save As" should still take you to that same directory location so you have the option to save under a different name and store it with all the other versions. If you already went through this, it may be a corrupted preference file somewhere, and I'd suggest following [URL="http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/how-to-reset-word-2011-for-mac-to-the-default/2f1d2270-e5c9-4301-bfe5-e6d1fefb9f12"]these instructions from Microsoft[/URL] to reset everything. Let us know! [/QUOTE]
