I think it is somewhere in the Word preferences.  Installing 10.9 
apparently damaged or defaulted some but not all preference files.
My copy of Office 2011 started demanding a license key every time
I tried to use it.  Fixed by copying in all its pref files from
another Mac OS partition--which also gave me this directory hassle.

The GUI preference setting, though, doesn't have a "use last" setting. 
Mine will allow me to choose a place, but it's currently blank, and if I 
click "Modify" I'm offered a standard Mac finder widget.  (With no "use 
last" option)

You always have time for what you do first.
