The SAVE AS or SAVE dialog box does not appear when I click save as. In
addition the auto recovery is in operable as well. I have uninstalled, MS
Office and reinstalled it, I have clicked on fix problems. MS Word is the

allow me to save files or rather allows me to click on SAVE or SAVE AS.
Please explain.
