Default folders and directories

[jmhultin]

I just graduated to Office 2013, and am having trouble making the conversion (seems that MS always likes to fix things that aren't broken).

My current frustration is that upon Open File or Save As, I am always confronted with a page that requires me to navigate down through my entire directroy tree to find the folder I want. My Excel 2007 always defaulted to the last used directory, which was MUCH easier.

I'm sure there is some option I can set to correct this, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Yes you can, kinda. Click File > Options > Save > Save to Computer by Default. Now you can choose recent folders or browse for new. That's about as close as I can get you.
