Microsoft Word is not able to Save the documents
I am not able to work with Microsoft Word. None of my documents are saving. Whenever I exist the word file it ask me to save it but from some time it is not at all asking the same. I had updated windows and performed a set of test but nothing is working. I am a bit annoyed with that. A number of my work is lost due to this. I had performed windows update, but in that also there is no solution received. It looks the save option is just somehow disabled.
re: Microsoft Word is not able to Save the documents
[QUOTE=Bob Buckland ?:-\);2745239]There are a couple of things that can cause this, including conflicting add-ins and some Word settings.
In Tools=>Options=>Save turn off the 'Autorecover' option then close Word. From Start=>Run search for all files using
~$*.*;*.tmp
and recycle them then restart Word to see if the error still occurs.
If so, try holding the contrl key when starting Word and see if you can open/create then save a file.
I've eliminated all the "$" and "tmp" files but it still doesn't SAVE or SAVE AS. It will when started in safe mode though. The only add-in I have is for Adobe PDF
Word 2007 won't save / save as on Vista 64 bit
I'm having the same problem as described above with Word 2007 as part of an Office Ultimate 2007 install. I tried all the things below I think - I removed all the Adobe things (Flash / Acrobat reader), cleaned the registry manually, changed the autosave location, renamed normal.dot, completely uninstalled Office 2007 and then reinstalled Office 2007 from the DVD. All Office programs work fine - except Word 2007 won't do save / save as / or pop the save dialog up when the document has changes and I hit close.
As reported by others - this only impacts one user account on the system - other users can log in and use Word2007 fine. The failure to pop up the save/saveas dialog impacts only 1 user account on the OS. Word Safe Mode doesn't help - it still won't pop up a save/save as dialog.
I haven't changed anything I'm aware of - it worked fine for 6 months and then it stopped, I had created a document in the morning, and that evening I made more changes and couldn't save it, or create or change any docs any more. Ideas?
re: Microsoft Word is not able to Save the documents
Maybe a hint for the tech gurus trying to help us - at least for me Word cannot open *any* file box. In the Word Options menu, any field listing a path/file where normally a button will open a file box, has the same silent response. No file box for you. Examples are Proofing > Custom Dictionaries > Browse.... and Advanced > File Locations > Modify... Also it cannot Open documents or Insert > Picture, as those require the box. I've double-checked and the product activation is confirmed, it's not running in reduced function mode.
I'm exactly the same as haluptzok, safe mode does not resolve it and none of the other advice so far. Office 2007 on Win 7-64 - worked normally until today, nothing has changed in the system to my knowledge, system restore no effect, reinstall no effect. Project due tomorrow of course - any thoughts what would make it not able to access the file system at all from any dialog?
re: Microsoft Word is not able to Save the documents
so, finally found a way around. all you have to do is create a new user and move ur contents to the new user account. and everything should work just fine
hope this was useful!

Just to confirm have you followed the below solution for automatically saving file after respected time???
- First open the Word menu and then just click on Preferences
- After that Under the "Output and Sharing" option just click on Save
- Make sure that you are check marking the"Save AutoRecover info every" option as well as the time frequency you want to get the file automatically saved. Here choosing 1 min will be the best option.
is is what you have done??? if not then try it out and then let me know if it is helping.
re: Microsoft Word is not able to Save the documents
Just today I downloaded Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 as a Torrent and it downloaded just fine. But somehow it doesn't seem to save and my laptop is practically empty! I have the same problem as everyone else here but I'm just hoping there is a way of fixing it without re-installing the software as it took me 2 hours to download :( RESPONSE ASAP!
