Save and Save As are Greyed out
When I open an existing word document and I want to save it as a different
file, both "Save" and "Save As" are greyed out. If I create a new word file they are also greyed out but when I close word it will ask me if I want to save my file and give me the option to name it and save it to the file I want to store it in. HELP Brian |

Save and Save As are Greyed out
What version of Word is this?
Save and Save As being grayed out often indicates the presence of a virus, particularly if you're able to save the file otherwise. If you weren't able to save the files at all, I would suspect an activation or expired trial version issue. Do you have antivirus software installed? Is it up to date? If it's not a virus problem, and if it's not an activation or expiration problem, then the steps here usually can resolve problems related to missing or inactive menu items: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Save and Save As are Greyed out
I have Word 2003 SP2...this is not a trial version I've had it for 4 years.
This happened 1 other time and I was told how to fix it, but I can't remember what they said. I don't think it's a virus, I do have Norton and it is upgraded.
