Assuming that I understood your description correctly, you were saying that
Save As pops up when you try to save an existing file (which normally
wouldn't require a Save As operation)? My question was: Is there a message
before you are presented with the Save As dialog box?

The fact that you're on a corporate network might be relevant. For example,
the cause of trouble could be access rights to folders. If this is the case,
it's a Windows issue.

I don't understand exactly what you mean - in order to save as a 2007 of
course "save as" has to be used doesn't it?

Anyway you made me think of something to try but it didn't work. I opened
the original .dot file, did a save as document template which saved it as
a
.dotx file. I closed the file, reopened it and made a small change as an
experiment. But when I went to creat a new document based on the template
(Office Button, New, pick the template from the list) the changes were not
there. I went back to the .dotx file in My Computer and opened it using
right
click, open (to open the file and not a new document) and the changes were
not there.

I don't know what is going on. I'm running XP in a corporate environment
by
the way in case it's relevant.
