Editing my post with an update as I think the problem is solved! (fingers crossed!) thanks so much for the suggestion to contact MS Mac Office Forum. There were some posts there that referred to the same issue - a moderator there said it is a systems issue (he wasn't sure if it is a by design or a bug) and recommended a software program that solves the problem and does a lot more helpful things in terms of organizing files on a Mac. It's called Default Folder - I just downloaded a free trial version and by going into the preferences of it and setting it to save files to the folder that they are opened in it seems to have solved the problem. So thanks again for the recommendation.</blockquote>
