workspace 2010 does not go the current folder/document library when you create a new document and save it?

SharePoint Workspace 2010 does not work as it says even in HELP:

it does not open the Web view where your current document library is, but go to libraries/documents on windows 7.

it is very inconvenient!

Creating a new document in a SharePoint workspace document library

The types of documents you can create in a SharePoint workspace document
library correspond to the document types you see when creating new documents
directly on the SharePoint site.


  1. Click the folder in which you would like to create a new document.
  2. On the Home tab, click New Document and then
    click the type of document you want to create from the available options.
  3. The new document opens in its application type.
  4. Edit the document as needed and then save the document (CTRL+S).

    In the Save As dialog box, note that the path is to a folder
    on the SharePoint server.

    The new document is added to the document library in the SharePoint workspace
    and synchronized on the SharePoint site.

Please try to recreate a SharePoint Workspace and type the location of a SharePoint site in the next dialog.

After it the sync with SPS finished, we would receive the new windows like this:

(If you failed to sync, please check the SPS is available currently)

Then we may follow the guide of "Creating a new document in a SharePoint workspace document library" as your initial post to create a new document and sync with SPS.

If there is any trouble, feel free to post back. Thanks.
