save

[minimus]

When I make a change in a word doxc file word sometimes asks me to save it
with a different file name.
Why does that happen?

You have an incompatible third party add-in, an over-zealous Anti Virus or
insufficient permissions to make changes in that folder.

If you need more help, please give us some information to work on such as

version of Word
version of OS
whether they are patched up to date
if this is a standalone or networked computer
where the document is stored

Terry; Same issues. I have no add-ins (that I know about), Microsoft OneCare,
total permissions. I have fought this for sometime. About every 5th save I
have to rename document. Surely there must be some code in the software that
is causing this issue. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Are you working in Wd2007 mode or compatibility mode?

Would you test this in Safe Mode for a while to see if it recurs? From
Start, Run, type in

winword /a

and press enter. Word will now be in Safe Mode. Test editing documents for a
decent period to see if the problem recurs.
