when i am saving a Word document and I select "save as" the drop down menu does not allow me access to my full documents folder. I only have access to destop and the last few folders i have used. How can I get to my "documents" folder

Click on the down arrow to expand your window to select more folders.

That's not what I get, any subfolder is available, no matter how deep.

I suspect you need to toggle open the view to see the subfolders. Try Column View.

No.

You need to call Microsoft, Word has nothing to do with Apple.

But first you should uninstall Office and then reinstall it. Per Microsoft's directions, don't just toss Office in the trash.

Here are the directions for removing Office, follow them exactly, no shortcuts or you will be doing it again.

One question, is this what you see?

And did you expand the view with this buttton

I said click the button, I even pointed an arrow at it. Click on the arrow on the right of the document name box

Try again.

You're welcome,

is it not logical to click Where?

No, not really. You can see the word "Where:" is static text, and the much more obvious place to click is the drop down menu right next to it.

It's the same logic as the "Save as:" text above it. It's pretty clear you type the name you want in the field to the right of the phrase Save as. Not click on the phrase before you can do it.

Glad you found the right place to click.
