I have a document that just won't save in Word. No error message or = anything - just click on Save or Save As and nothing happens. As a last resort I have moved the content into a new document and I can = save that, but there is some reformatting to be done, image alignment = and numbered lists etc. Was wondering if anyone had come across this before and had any ideas? = It just seems to be that one document. ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
