Default File save attempt freezes Word. Why?

I have a 1.2MB Word file, which I have scanned with Norton and Panda, which
will not save (hour glass icon remains) and makes Word become non-responsive.
What can I do to "fix" this file?

Try saving as a different name and/or in a different location is usually a
good start.

Also, try copying the whole document and pasting it into a new document and
again save in as a diff name or location.

Hopefully, you can get it saved and run diagnostics on your whole machine.

Well, I tried what Eric said...good advice...but didn't solve my particular
problem. I turned off the spelling and grammer check features and THAT DID
SOLVE THE PROB. Now I'm wondering how to turn off that feature
(spell/grammer check) on a document by document basis instead of it
influencing ALL Word documents. I started another thread on that question.
