Check the event viewer when trying to save the document. See if any application is crashing, if yes, then uninstall/fix that and then try saving
the document.
Also, check if you have WebDav on XP system. If webdav requests succeeds Word hangs, if it fails word doesn't hangs.
If none of this helps then you have to take a hang dump and see where actually word is hanging.
This will help to find out what exactly is happening.

None of that helped, the problem still accurs and excel and word pad work
fine. Server was originally a win 2k server all work stations where upgraded
to XP Pro SP2 and user data Mirgrated. Then server was upgraded Hardware and
OS to Win 2k3 standard SP1 and most of the hotfixs as some of them stop
server from running. Also the same problem accurred when tried on a server
with no updates. This is when the Problem start. There are no issues when
saving to a Win 2K servers.

If the word document being uploaded is of large size this issue might occur. Delete the network map drive and create again. This
might
help. Check the path if it is unusally long or has some special characters. Also, try disabling Norton Antivirus on the network.
If this doesn't helps then check if even Excel files hangs on saving to a network drive. Try saving a document from wordpad on the
network
drive. Let me know the results of these.
The issue can also occur if the Word's view is set to Page layout view specially when you are using protected documents. Set the
Word's
view to Normal View.
Check for spywares and other third party tools installed on your system.
