Word doesn't save (Solved) by somelauw on 07-03-2007 at 01:02 PM
I use MS Word 2000(9.0.2812) on WinXP SP2.
Each time I change something in a specific file and then try to save that change. It shows me that an unexpected error occured.
If I make a new file and save it, it works. It's only one specific document.
It's 58 kB and contains object which have been copy-pasted form excel, powerpoint and it contains lots of tables.
What do you suggest? If you need more info, then just ask.

has the file been "read only" protected?

open a new document and past the object in there
maybe msword doesn't support the type of object

By the way. I used to be able to save it when changes are made. After updating the file a couple of times it suddenly got (maybe)corrupted.
It's an assignment for mathematics and I want to improve it. But that's kinda hard if I can't save changes.

Since word autosaves only every 5 minutes, I tried it again.
Then I tried to copy-paste everything to a new document and then saving it, that worked. I could even edit it and save it again.
The problem is solved now. Thanks both for helping.

why the hell would you do that, all (s)he has to do is open the file copy it all, open a new word doc and paste it in

'cos i already said that take a screen shot alt + print screen then press ctrl + v and paste it in to a new document
