Office 2013 - Unable to save/save as to mapped home drive

Hello--
We have several users who are unable to save documents to their mapped home drives, which we point to H.
If you browse to the UNC of the mapping, you can save just fine. Other mapped drives work correctly, only the H mapping give us the message: "Access denied. Contact your administrator." with a second message "Unable to save to this location..."
I have only seen the error in Excel so far, I am still contacting the other users.  This is not widespread.
Our server admins have verified permissions and the save actions to the full UNC confirm this.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Thanks!
Matt

  • Server based Office 2013 - where do I save word templates on the server for all users to access from "New"?

    Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm used to working with stand alone desktop MS Office products.
    We have a server connected to six desktop work stations. All stations have access to Microsoft Office 2013 on the server, and the printer is linked through
    the server.
    Users are currently accessing Word doc Documents on the shared (p) drive as templates, and then saving them with relevant file names to their area on the
    (p).
    Surely there is a way to save Word templates to the server, so that when someone clicks on "New" in Word our own templates are also offered automatically?
    Thanks
    Mark

    If
    anyone knows the address
    for where Microsoft stores the main default templates  - then that would
    be really useful? It would also allow us to get rid of the numerous templates that we would never use.
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    Interop is not supported on a Server or with in a services.
    But if you want to this, you have to set up the Environment. I follow this Guideline with my Word and I'm able to start Word on a Server.
    1) Goto Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services
    2) Expand Tree by clicking on Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config
    3) Search CLSId 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 (which is for Word 97-2003 application)
    4) By selecting 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 this CLSId now right click on Properties
    5) In the Propeties area, click on Security TAB
    6) Select Customize option from all (Launch and Activations Permissions, Access Pemissions, Configuration Permissions)
    7) Take the User of the Services and Allow all permissions for this user
    8) Go to Identity TAB in the same properties area, select option as a This user and then add username (the user must be administrator of this machine) and password. Click on Apply, Ok
     Locale Profile: True
    9) Refresh Component Services and check your application is working fine or not.
    10) set Folder, if not present:
       C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.

  • Printer driver hangs when printing with Office 2013/Windows 8 64 bit

    Printer: HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi
    Printer Driver: V5.1 (up to date, downloaded from HP support website) or Generic V5.6
    OS: Windows 8 Professional 64bit
    When I try to print a certain Excel document with Excel 2013 and printer driver V5.1, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager. This happens always with the same document, but not with all documents. The program hangs also when opening the print preview for the same document.
    The same document prints fine with the generic printer driver V5.6 and with the driver that comes with Windows 8.
    The same document prints fine with driver V5.1 under Windows 7 and Office 2010. The combination Windows 7/Office 2013 was not tested. The combination Windows 8/Office 2010 was also not tested.
    When I try to print an empty document with Word 2013 and generic printer driver V5.6, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager.
    My conclusion is that the HP printer drivers have a problem with either Windows 8 or Office 2013 or a combination of both.
    The printer driver that comes with Windows 8 and is automatically installed is useful as a temporary workaround, but it lacks certain options, e.g. manual duplex.
    On request, I am ready to send the Excel document by e-mail for verification of the problem.
    Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Uli
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

  • Office 2007 saving documents over mapped network drive takes abnormally long

    On a new Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer, I have installed Office 2007. When I attempt to save documents to a mapped network drive on a peer network (saving to a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer), I have abnormally long save times.  However, when I attempt
    to save documents to my computer, I have no issues.  I do not have any issues when opening the files over the mapped drive.
    Turning off the third-party Bullguard Internet Security antivirus and firewall makes no difference.  Setting as an exception the excluded mapped drive folder makes no difference either.
    I have disconnected the mapped drive and re-mapped the network drive, but this makes no difference.
    I had no problem with the same software on a prior computer running the same Office 2007 version.  Another computer on the network has no issues either.
    Please advise how to speed up the saved documents (Word, Excel).

    Hi,
    As the slow to save files issue, please try the suggestion below to modify the registry:
    Important
    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the

    To start the Registry Editor, press Win + R, type "regedit.exe" in the blank box, press Enter. Then add the following registry key to the machine:
    [Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options]
    "DisableRobustifiedUNC"=Dword:00000001
    [Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options]

  • Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

    So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
    if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy? 
    One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures). 
    I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED! 

    You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

  • Cannot Save Word files as a PDF in Office 2013 with Office customization tool

    Hello
    I'm deploying office 2013 as a part of a post clone task.  Using the customization tool I created an msp with the full installation (without outlook,Link, or skydrive) I noticed that I cannot save or export files as PDF files.  If I do a manual
    install (without MSP) I can save files as pdf.  I can't find anywhere in the customization tool that allows me to choose different "save as" file types. In office 2010 I used to be able to save word files as PDF files.  Any ideas would
    be greatly appreciated.
    Charles

    Hi,
    In regarding the issue, could you give me more information? Did you test to install the Office 2013 by using MSP and manual installation in the same computer? Did the other Office suits can not save files as pdf?
    Let's do some test to narrow down the issue:
    If you use the only one computer to test, please export a new MSP file include all the suits and use the all the default setting. Then we follow the
    link to deploy again.
    If the issue still exists, please try to change a computer, and update Adobe programs to install the new MSP file to test.
    If you get some error message when you save as pdf through Word, please upload, I'll do more deeply research.

  • Option Save As - SharePoint missing in Office 2013

    Hi!
    I have installed Office 2013 Professional plus on a Virtual machine. For some strange reason the option Save As - SharePoint does not exist. Only Skydrive Other web locations and Computer are visible. But on another VM also the option Sharepoint is visible.
    Excel version 15.0.4535.1507
    Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition is installed on the same server
    So far no rescue on google.
    Has anyone seen this problem and knows how to deal with it?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The option Save As - SharePoint would not exist when Office 2013 initial installed.  After you save a file to a SharePoint library for the first time, you can click
    Save as you do for any file. This is by design.
    Thanks.

  • Very Slow to save Office 2013 files (Excel/Word) to a network share

    I have an issue with a customer's system whereby they experience problems with saving either a Word or Excel file to another workstation on the network.
    The network share is located on a Windows7 Pro x64 machine. The problem can be seen on a machine that's running Windows 8.1 Pro X64 along with Office 2013. When the user attempts to save the document back to the network share, there's
    a very long delay (sometime around a minute) before the save completes.
    I've tried turning off indexing of off-line files (via indexing options) and also declaring the network location as a trusted location (via the Trust Centre settings from within Excel & Word).
    If I simulate the same, but with a local file (eg loaded/saved to the Desktop) then there's no delay, so I conclude that it's something related to the process of saving data to the network share.
    The normal copy speed across the network, and between these 2 machines, is very fast. It's only when running Word/Excel that  the problem manifests itself.
    Any pointers would be gratefully received!
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Please first try to disable your antivirus software and check the issue again.
    This issue may also occur if you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) to secure the Temporary Internet Files folder. If this is the situation, please refer to the following article and try to fix the issue:

  • Office 2013 'Save As' - Cannot 'see' document

    Is it just me or is there anyone else out there who has problem with the change to how Office programs now 'Save As'.
    In previous versions (forever!) when you chose 'Save As' you were returned to the actual document and could then utilise information in that document view to name your document.  For me, as a salesman, it was useful as we use quote numbers and I may
    be working on several quotes at a time and cannot necessarily remember the exact quote number of the item I was working on.  Now with the Save As feature in all Office 2013 products you don't get to see your document behind the save as window and if you
    have the memory of a goldfish you have to cancel out of the process, go back to the document, remember the detail that you need and go through the process all over again.
    Can anyone assist, better still can the developers please put this back as it was as it is truly frustrating and I am thinking I will have to go back to office 2010 as it is becoming a true PITA!
    If no-one can specifically answer does anyone have a direct connection to developers that I could raise this as a change request??
    Mark Bailey Systems Consultant M&M Information Technologies Limited

    Hi,
    Let's say in Word 2013, if you click "Save As" from FILE tab, then click "Computer" -> "Browse", it automatically opens a dialog which refers to the current file location - This is my test result and it should be the
    same as you mentioned in previous versions, right?
    If it doesn't open the current file location when you click "Save As", what location does it open go to in your scenario? If it always opens the same location, it might be restricted by the registry key.
    We can refer to this kb below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2801776/en-us
    Based on the kb, if you find the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Open Find\RestrictedBrowse", you may delete the Name and Value under the key, check if this will release the lock of the "Save As"
    Location.

  • Save to Sharepoint Option gone missing in Office 2013

    Hi - I used to be able to save to SharePoint from Office 2013 apps by going to file, save as and under SharePoint I would have my sites pinned for ease of access. they then vanished and although it works in the same way I now save under 'other web locations'. 
    Have Microsoft removed that option in an update or something?
    Thanks

    Hi Rhys,

  • Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start (6) Office 2013

    Ok this is just so annoying.
    Whenever I try to open Word, it gives the error "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start.(6)". Other office applications either freeze or crash. Only Excel works fine. Running Win7 64 bit.
    Tried all possible ways of installation/reinstallation. Did repair, uninstalled and reinstalled manually, uninstalled with FixIt from Microsoft, removed every leftover thing from registry. Also removed some other applications that I thought could cause this
    problem for Office. 
    Uninstalled 64 bit Office, and installed 32 bit, same exact problems.
    !!!Don't suggest me to run as administrator please!!!

    Hi,
    According to your description, I suppose that Word 2013 was blocked by some other applications after you opening it.
    Which operation system do you use?  Have you installed the Office 2013 SP1?
    Then, we try to do some tests to narrow down the issue:
    1. Collect the Event log
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-information-event-logs-event-viewer#1TC=windows-7
    2. Use the
    Process Monitor to collect the detailed information.
    Open process monitor, and reproduce this issue, if there is any files or keys were blocked during the process.Please let me know,  and you could save as the file from process monitor, upload the file through One Drive and share the link to me. I'll
    analysis it.
