Can someone tell me why I cannot get documents to save in a nested

I can repeat the failure and this is disturbing in that the application
(that I would rather not name) says it is updated the file but it is not
being changed.

You can get the document saved in any location that you chose as long 
as you are saving it for the FIRST time and not using the "Save in xxxx 
folder selected by the application" function. The dialogue window gives 
you the option to select your choice of locations. All you have to do 
is use the dialogue window functions to navigate to the selected 
location and click on the SAVE button when you arrive where you want to 
be.

The second opportunity to save to the location you desire is when you 
use the "Save As" option. Again, a dialogue window opens and gives you 
all the same saving options: name, location, extension appendage, etc. 
This option will create a duplicate document in the selected location. 
 From this point, you have to remember what you named it and where you 
put it so you can locate it again.
