Why I have two versions of a document folder in Word in the way that I take?

If I go via libraries > Documents > word I get a folder containing all the documents expected.

If I go via libraries > Documents > My Documents > Word the same folder contains only a single document.

(I'm on Win7 64 bit)

Windows 7 organizes files and folders a little differently than Windows XP.  In particular, a Windows 7 library is a consolidated view files related in one place.  If you look at your document library, you will see that there is a line that says something like: "Includes X locations," where the X is probably 2, but could be of 3 or more.

If you click this link, you will see something like this:

In your case, you seem to have created two folders named Word.  Know where the records are located is made even more difficult because in Windows 7, the folder that is displayed as "My Documents" is actually named "Documents" - at least the default folder of the same name that is automatically created by Windows.  The screenshot above shows the same behavior with regard to the "My pictures" folder

I suggest do you the folder that has now all documents in your "Default save location" (you can do a right click on it in the window above).  Place the single document of the other "Word" file in your "save default location", and then delete this file.
