Default problem w/ word won't save documents or mail/print merge

I'm having problems w/ word (office 2003) tha it won't save documents or
mail/print merge. I can modify a document, print it and that is about it.
When I do any type of merge (printer, email), it looks as if it processed it
but it does not exist in the printer que or in outlook. When exiting, it
asks if i wan to save it, I click "yes" but it does nothing! I repeat this,
and the only option that I have is to exit w/o saving and I loose everything!

thanks,
Mark

Have you "Activated" Word? If you select Activate Produce from the Help
menu, what happens?

Under ToolsMacroMacros is there a macro with the name FileSave or
FileSaveAs when you have "All active templates and documents" selected in
the Macros in: control?

You should not lose the PST file by doing anything suggested here - though
back it up to be sure.

I find it difficult to believe there are no temp files either in the working
folders or in the Windows temp folder. Have you set Windows Explorer to
display hidden files and the extensions of known file types?

To reset Word to install defaults, rename normal.dot, delete or rename the
registry data key as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm repair Word and
remove any add-ins as also described the quoted link.

Use the Inbox Repair Tool ("C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\SCANPST.EXE") to repair your PST file.
