Microsoft Word 2007 - Insert Picture

I create a lot of mockup images in my design process. I insert these into my specification documents. My project folders are structured so that different types of images for different projects are in different folders.

The MS Word Insert Picture function forces me to go to a default folder every time I want to insert an image.

When I am working in an area of a design I tend to use images in a specific folder for a while then later I will use images from a different folder.

I don't mind having to navigate to a specific folder the first time I use an image from that folder. What gets me really hacked off is that the Insert Picture function does not bother to remember where I went the last time because I will probably go there the next time I need an image. I don't mind navigating to a different folder when I start using a different folder. The function makes me navigate from the same starting point every time I want to insert an image.

I don't want to change my default folder, I want to keep my default folder as the overall basket folder for all my projects. The navigation to any one of the image folders is not that onerous by itself. It just gets terribly annoying when I have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO THE SAME FOLDER!!!!!!!

This is not a radical concept ... Corel, for example, have used this approach for years.
