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

No, it hasn't. Neither has it been password protected.

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.

I tried to cut-paste the powerpoint object from the word file to another word file. Then word tried to autosave it and again the error.
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.

you could copy and paste it into a new doc

screen shot it and past it in?

what the fuck are you talking about

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

but it sounds like he can't
'cos i already said that take a screen shot alt + print screen then press ctrl + v and paste it in to a new document

Thanks toddy, it has been solved now. I already edited my previous post to prevent a double post.

I want to be able to edit it. Not just append to it. It's by the way a large word document. It would take long to make a screenshot from every single page.
