Unwanted Permission Restriction on Wordfile
Tried to save changed MS Word 2003 file but error message "Word cannot
complete the save due to File Permission Error". Have never and don't know how to restrict or release permissions. No Permission function on File menu, and no Permission incon is on my standard toolbar. It would be nice to prevent permission from all future restrictions, in addition to getting out of this jam. |

Unwanted Permission Restriction on Wordfile
When you get this error message, are you trying to save to a
local hard drive, a network drive, a CD, a floppy disk, or some other type of removable media?

Could be too many Word temporary files on your hard drive. Try
the instructions for cleaning out Word temporary files at http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm .

Unwanted Permission Restriction on Wordfile
Thanks, got response showing how to unlock wordfile by changing properties of
save as, which did the trick just fine. However, how did the file get locked in the first place? It is a document that I had been working on daily--I opened and closed it a dozen times. Then, one day, it was locked out of saving changes. This has happened to other wordfiles a couple of times in the past. Any thoughts on how it may have been locked, or how to prevent locking in the future? I don't ever need to lock up a file.
