Mavericks default location for "save as" on word and excel

Having just installed Mavericks, it appears that if I open a Word or Excel file, and then go to "save as", rather than defaulting the save as location to the location the original file came from, it is now defaulting to my top level Documents folder. Is there any way of changing this back to how it used to be?

It seems that adobe reader saves to the location from where it was installed originally.
I saved the installer to my desktop and now when i open pdf files in ie and save them, they are saved to desktop

  • Default location for save as: set to my documents

    When I open a pdf document from the internet without saving it on my computer and click on save after I modified it, the save as dialogue propose my "temporary internet files" folder instead of the "my documents" folder. When I check on my colleague's pc (same configuration) it goes by default to my document. How can I change my default saving location to my documents?
    Configuration: vista, reader 9.0 and IE7.
    Thanks for you help.

  • Mavericks installation now cannot open MSOffice 2011 Word and Excel. Ppt still works.

    i've tried creating another user accont and opening it this way with no luck. reinstalling ms office 2011, no luck. It still works on my desktop imac but not my macbook air, problem started directly after installing mavericks.

    Try updating it to the latest Office software update.

  • If i upgrade to maverick will i lose my microsoft word and excel for apple

    If I upgrade to maverick will I lose my installed Office Word and Excel for Mac

    You shouldn't, but it would be a really good idea to make a clone of your existing installation using Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading. That way if you have any issues with Mavericks it's very easy to go back. Without the clone it's a lot more difficult.

  • Word and Excel 2010 keep asking me to log into SharePoint.

    I had Office 2010 beta running on Windows 7.  At one point, I opened a file from a SharePoint site by mistake.  I got the Beta to stop asking me about logging
    into this SharePoint site. 
    Last week, I un-installed the beta and installed the released version of Office 2010.
    Now, when I have any documents opened in either Word or Excel, I am being asked to log into the old SharePoint site - every 5 minutes. 
    The only place I have been able to find anything related to SharePoint is under Outlook, file, info, account settings.  The old site was listed under SharePoint
    lists - I deleted that. There was also a Data File that had the SharePoint site as the location - I deleted that.
    Word and Excel are still asking me to authenticate to the SharePoint site - I don't use any SharePoint sites.
    HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for using 
    Office 2010 Setup and Deployment forum. 
    From your description, I understand that you had Office 2010 beta and opened a file from a
    SharePoint site by mistake. Then you set Office 2010 beta stop asking for log in in this SharePoint site. Now you installed the RTM version of Office 2010. However, when you open any documents in Word or Excel, you are asked to log in the old SharePoint site.
    If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
    If SharePoint Shared Workspace is enabled in Word or Excel, this may prompt users with a Windows login if users do not have permissions to access or create a Shared
    Workspace. We can do the following steps to turn this off:
    ===============
    1.      
    Open
    Word
    2.      
    Click
    Files > Options > Advanced
    3.      
    Under
    General, click Service Option.
    4.      
    Click
    Shared Workspace.
    5.      
    Uncheck box that says
    “The document is part of a Workspace or SharePoint Site.”
    6.      
    Click
    OK to save the settings.
    Similar steps to do this in Excel.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
    you, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

    Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

    I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.
