Can't save my word document!!!
I'm working on a document since 4 months, and today, I can't save any
modification! When I try to save, an error occurs (you know, the one with the window that says "would you like to send an error report to Microsoft... bla bla") and then all the Word documents close... Weird... Can somebody help me? I must finish this document soon! Thanks. |

This used to be an issue with Office and various anti-virus products. Turn
off your anti-virus and try saving. If it's successful, then it's this old problem, which can be (usually) fixed by installing the latest service pack for Office (or re-installing the latest version if you've already installed it). If turning off the A/V doesn't fix the problem, re-enable it (so you don't forget) and try rebooting the PC.

Have you tried saving it with a modified name? Are you trying to save it to
a network drive or a local drive when you receive this message? Have you checked the properties of the document to make sure it is not set as "read only"? ~ivcchelpdesk "PL PL" wrote: I'm working on a document since 4 months, and today, I can't save any modification!

Thanks to both. I tried to save with a new name, on another disk, with and
without A/V, I tried to reboot. It doen't work. I tried to select all pages and copy to a new document, but only the 1st page appears... as an image!?!?!? Evil is in my PC! I also checked the doc with AVG and Trend micro A/V and there's nothing wrong. Don't know what else to do... "BobT" wrote: This used to be an issue with Office and various anti-virus products.

If you have the cd's for your version of Office, I would suggest Custom
Install and select Repair. See if this fixes the problem. Are you having issues with other applications? If yes, it may the OS. Try a Repair on the OS. You can also go to microsoft's website and look for updates that are specific to your Windows and Office versions. ~ivcchelpdesk "PL PL" wrote: Thanks to both.

It sounds like your document may have a minor corruption - see if
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm helps. It may also be worth checking out the following link: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm and with Word closed, check for orphan files which can perpetuate the problem - http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org PL PL wrote: I'm working on a document since 4 months, and today, I can't save any modification!
