Yes. I'm sure. No. It hasn't always been that way. Word 97 and Word 2000
always opened to the default file location no matter what other folder
you were last in. I just verified it on another PC with both Word 97 and
Word 2000.

Are you sure this really changed? It's been a while since I've used
Word
2000, but I thought the behavior was the same.
Anyway...yes, you can go into Word's Tools>Options, File Locations tab
and
choose which folder you want as your default for documents and that's
where
Word will go to the FIRST time you go to File>Open ...but if you change
to
another folder in there, Word remembers that and takes you back to that
folder, until you close Word down and reopen it, then it will use your
default again.
I *believe* it's always been that way tho...no?

Has the "File | Open" behavior changed from since Word 2000? In Word
2000,
File - Open always took me to "My Documents" or whatever folder I had
specified as the File Location. However, Word XP takes you back to
whatever
folder you were last in - no matter where it is. I hope I'm making
sense. We
are using Windows XP Professional with Office XP Professional.
