Luckily there wasn't too much of that since I have = used styles and templates. Our network has a virus checker that runs every two hours or so, but I = will ask them about the possibility of a virus anyway. For those of you who like to persevere with a problem, here are some = more clues! :) * The Save and Save As options where not greyed out, but when I selected = them nothing happened. * The file name was short and only included alphanumeric characters = already. * The file had been saved numerous times previously and autosave and = fast save had been turned off as my preference is to save properly every = five minutes or so. * File had only been open for an hour or so when it stopped working. * Couldn't Save As RTF because Save As function not working. Ws easier = to cut and paste into new Word doc. * Nothing obvious in the Macros for File or Template. Only have a = couple of macros and have been using these successfully all over the = place.
