Only if it's in the document itself (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/RedX.htm). In this case, the red X seems
to be something on the status bar, and the reason no one has answered this
is that presumably no one has a clue. However, since the block next to
Background Save is Spelling and Grammar Status, I would guess that the red X
(assuming it's superimposed on a book) means that there are spelling errors
in the document.

When I save some Word documents I see a little red X
surrounded by a circle to the left of the animated green
'saving' indicator bar at the bottom of the screen. What
the heck does that mean? The red X does not seem to be any
more than a warning or something that provides information.
I can't find any mention of this red X in any of my help
books. How can I get rid of the red X--it makes me
nervous.
Thanks for any help.
That is almost always an indication that an image has been called for in
the document or file, but it is not located where the document says it is.
Thus it cannot be displayed.
Mentioning your OS and Office versions might well make a difference in the
answers you get here, you know.
