Word will NOT save - no matter what I try.
I have tried everything and Word will not save.... no matter what I've tried
and can find no answers to my problem. Someone has got to know what is going on. Everything else saves fine. Word doesn't and I get no error message. |

Word will NOT save - no matter what I try.
Nobody can help you if you don't provide a complete & accurate description
of the problem. You haven't even indicated what version of Word or Windows you're using, & that can make a big difference. What does happen when you try to save? How are you issuing the Save command? Without accurate detail someone would have to take a "shotgun" approach that wouldn't be a bit helpful to you.

Word will NOT save - no matter what I try.
I am so frustrated with trying to figure this thing out for over a week now
(I've had other issues like with IE7 trying to uninstall and how that screwed me all up and Microsoft couldn't help, Yahoo couldn't help, our IT guy couldnt' help... i"m just really frustrated but you're right - it doesn't help to not know so.....) I am running Windows XP, Word 2002. When I click on Save as.... nothing happens - literally - nothing. When I click on Save... nothing happens. When I click on the disk - nothing - no window - no options - no little bar at the bottom of the page so you can see the progress of it saving - nothing. When I hit the X to close out of Word, it will ask me if I want to save my document - I click yes - nothing again. There was one time where I walked away from my desk and came back and it said that the Auto-recovery wasn't able to save. When I try to find the document - it's not there after getting out of it. I've downloaded IE7 which I HATE but I'm not able to go back and change it now.. I had the same problem with Word before but my browser wouldn't work (earlier this week). Now my browser works but Word won't save. Excel saves, Power Point saves, Publisher saves - no other problems that I can see except for this one. Now our IT guy is in India and can't help me there so now I'm typing stuff and having to lose it because I can't save it. Is there any other info you need?? I'm not sure what all would help you diagnose it... "CyberTaz" wrote: Nobody can help you if you don't provide a complete & accurate description of the problem.

Post again after you've removed the virus.

I had someone show me out to start Word in safe mode - that seemed to work -
but I can't seem to find an add on that makes it not save.. Would that make sense or should I still scan for a virus??

Word will NOT save - no matter what I try.
You should always be alert for viruses!
If Word will start correctly in safe mode then the two links I posted earlier should help resolve it. The problem is coming from either a defective normal.dot file (rename it) or from an inappropriate add-in (remove it). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: I had someone show me out to start Word in safe mode - that seemed to work - but I can't seem to find an add on that makes it not save..

Word will NOT save - no matter what I try.
I have removed all viruses that were "Quarentined" by our antivirus software.
I also have ran defender on my computer to which everything came up fine.. I have disabled ALL my add-ins that I can find - one by one - and still no saving. Now when I start it in safe mode - it doesn't save either... This is crazy!!!! "Graham Mayor" wrote: You should always be alert for viruses!

I take it this copy of Word has been activated and that it is not a now
expired trial version? Try re-installing the printer driver (Word formats according to that). Run chkdsk on your hard drive(s) Repair Word from the control panel add or remove programs applet. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: I have removed all viruses that were "Quarentined" by our antivirus software.
