Default Save Location in Finder

When performing a Save As, why isn't the default save location the same as the original file? Instead, the Save dialogue box defaults to Desktop.


When working with multiple nested folders, it's irritating and a waste of time clicking through. Interestingly, not even the "Recent Locations" options are the location of the original file. This issue happens with Microsoft Word and Excel, but I think it's a Finder problem.


Is there any way to change that?

That should be controlled by the app. Contact the developer. If they are Apple apps, use the feedback site.
