Can't save Word documents after OS update

I downloaded the most recent OS update today (2-2-12) and now I can't save any MS Word or Excel files. I also lose the ability to close these programs when I try to save, requiring a force quit of the program.

Hi Wandering and Littleredgto,
I am experiencing exactly the same problems, and I am also still on OS 10.6.8. In my case the problem occurred after the latest security update from 2/1/12.  I did not do a remote client update.

  • Can't Save Word documents

    Suddenly I can't save Word documents or even exit Word without using force quit. How can I correct this

    Then you have an iMac Intel, not a PPC.    Now, since you haven't installed a security update, and you are sure you haven't the only reason the documents may not save is that the installation was not good.   Be sure first your data is backed up.  Try to run the installer for Office inside the Installer folder, and to be doubly certain, download the latest Office v.X patch.  If it still doesn't work, you may want to try an Office alternative such as NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Writer.

  • DIS installed but can't save Word document in CS

    I installed the CIS but can't save Word/Excel/PPT 2003 files using save as. What I do wrong and/or what I missed? There's no info on CIS Install/User Guides.
    Using Windows Explorer, everything Works fine.
    Some info:
    UCM: 10.1.3.5.0 (090707) (Build:7.2.4.11)
    DesktopIntegrationSuite 2009_07_02 (8.2.0.959)
    CoreWebdav 2009_06_17 (build 30) br-10g-10.1.3.5-release
    Thanks!

    What did you install?
    DIS or CIS - you mention both.
    CIS is something quite different that provides an API that exposes the UCM services within J2EE applications.
    What you need to install are the Windows client components of DIS. If you do this there is (if I remember rightly) an option in the install wizard about which desktop applications you would like DIS to integrate with (word excel...).
    So either
    1.Install DIS (if you have not done so yet)
    2.Update your DIS install (just run the installer again or go Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Change or Remove programs andtick the box for word integration

  • How can i save word documents to pages? I have an illegal copy of word but want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  I'm a writer and need to preserve my word documents.

    I have an illegal copy of word and I want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  How can I save my word documents to pages
    so that they are not lost in this upgrade?  I do not have the disk to reinstall word after the upgrade.

    You might want to post your question in the Pages forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
    Also if it's the Office 2004 version of Word it won't work in Lion since it's a Power PC program. Office 2008 will work in Lion if it's already installed when you upgrade. But it won't install on Lion because the installer program uses Power PC code. Office 2011 is the only one that will install and work on Lion.

    i bought and downloaded iWork when i bought my macbook pro and i used to save my documents on words. then a few weeks ago, i downloaded a free trial of microsoft office but unregistered and deleted it a week after. now i can't save my documents on word. It used to ask me if I want to save my documents on word, now it doesn't. And the W icon keeps on appearing on my dock. Can I return my computer to an earlier date? Please help me. Thanks

    No, I don't have a back-up of TIme Machine... to tell you the truth, I have this computer for a few years now and I still don't know how to work all of the apps that are here. Anything else I can do?

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

    i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

    What was your old system?
    What is your new System?
    What version of Pages?
    How did you install it?
    I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
    To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

  • What do I do if I can't save my document in Microsoft Office Word 2011?

    I can't save my document, and I don't know what to do. I have tried to save the file in different folders, I have tried to copy all the text and save in a new document, I have tried to save it to an external harddrive and a USB but with no luck. The document is full of equations, and I therefore can't simply send it over to aanother computer via mail etc. Whenever I try to save it doesn't show anything, but the document is still named: 'Document 5'. The little dot in the red circle is still there obv.
    No window with the problem is poppin' up and I have no idea what is wrong. I have checked for updates, but none is available. I have 427,82 GB out of 499,25 GB available on my harddrive disc w/e it's called.
    Please help, thanks
    btw. the assignment deadline is the 19th of May

    Hi,
    I can't directly help you with the Save issue you're having with MS Word. However, since your deadline is 19th May for your assignment, the priority is to get it sent before the deadline. Have you tried saving the document as a .pdf? If not, do the following:
    With the document open, from the menubar select File->Print
    In the Print dialogue box click PDF drop down menu (bottom left of the Print dialogue window)
    Select Save as PDF
    Has the document been saved as a PDF?

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

  • Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

    Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment.  Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
    Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
    no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
    following message appears when you try to save the document:
      This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
    save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
    it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
    Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
    Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
    to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
    Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out.  The real issue is the
    word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

    Hi, 
    According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
    on the new file server.
    How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy? 
    Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.
