I am trying to save a word document for a school assignment and the
program
keeps popping up an error message stating "Word cannot complete the save
due
to a file permission error."
I have never seen this error before and am using the same format that I
always use when naming my assignments. Does anyone have any ideas how I
can
get past this error and continue saving my work?? Any help will be very
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
