Problem Saving Files to A Sharepoint 2010 Site from Office 2010: Saves locally by default rather than to the correct sharepoint site

Hi we are starting to use sharepoint 2010 / word 2010 and have found an interesting bug/problem. Sometimes when a user tries to save a file (by clicking on the save button in the quick access toolbar for word 2010) the save dialog comes up with the
users local "Documents" folder as the path (not the correct sharepoint path where the document should be saved).  (I should say that we are creating the file from sharepoint by using a toolbar on the document library, with the new button) 
We are using a content type and a template attached to the document library when we create the file. 
This is really annoying because the user might not notice that the document is saving locally and not to sharepoint.  I have found a strange workaround which involves clicking the [File] tab on the ribbon in word 2010, then clicking "Save and Send"
and then clicking the save button again.  At this point word 2010 seems to "remember" that it is trying to save document to sharepoint and shows the sharepoint document library.
This is a real nuisance which could lead to documents being lost/misfiled if people don't realize that this is happening.  Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Saving files to SharePoint Document Library.
For a test try this:
Word 2010
Disable all options in "Protected View"
(-> Word Backstage -> Options -> Trust Center -> Protected View)
Now you can create a new document in your document library. The
save dialog comes up with the correct sharepoint path.
Hope this helps

  • Problem Saving Files CS5

    After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files.  This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
    When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
         Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
    The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
    I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type.  If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts.  But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time.  I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
    I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time.  But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update??    Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS.  There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
    If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jimcarke,
    My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
    Graphic files, no problem.  I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
    No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
    With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
    Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
    Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
    I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
    I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
    All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
    Regards
    John

  • Problems saving Files on Lion-Server

    My colleagues frequently report problems saving files stored on our Lion-Server machine. This usually applies to Photoshop CS6 documents but has been reported fpr MS Word .docx-Files as well. Usually the problem can be circumvented by savin the files in question  on the local machine and later copy them back to the server.
    Unfortunately the errors happen at random times where I usually have no access to either the cient computer or the server so I have no clue of wht is going wrong.
    The Server-Logs, especially the AppleFileServer Logs don't show any information related to anx client side error message.
    The only thing I see are entries in /var/log/system.log reading something like
    "Jul  9 15:36:14 servername AppleFileServer[1368]: MDSChannelPeerCreate: (os/kern) invalid argument"
    I'm not sure, if these messages are related to the failure of saving files, but they are the only clue I have so far.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems or better has a solution to avoid thes errors entirely?

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

    Glad you got it working! Incidentally, if you have a relatively new Apple mouse (Magic Mouse or Mighty Mouse should work), you should be able to enable right-click, if you'd like it, by going to System Preferences - Mouse - and turning on "Secondary click". Third-party mice, like Logitech or Microsoft, should have right-click automatically.

  • This is ridiculous i want my money refunded immediately! The web site is a joke and it should be alot easier to contact a support team rather than having the whole world read this note through an online forum. Absolutely ridiculous! Someone better contact

    This is ridiculous i want my money refunded immediately! The web site is a joke and it should be alot easier to contact a support team rather than having the whole world read this note through an online forum. Absolutely ridiculous! Someone better contact me back to resolve within 24 hours@

    I feel the same exact way! I am absolutely livid with how much I have been charged over these past few months. How is it I was informed by my school that Adobe would only charge us $9.97. After I signed up, I dropped the course which required us to have Adobe Cloud. Now I check my bank account and I see I am continuously being charged $32.04 every month. This is abdolutely outrageous! Now I'm calling trying to cancel it and they're telling me I have to pay an extra month. This is mind blowing! Something needs to be done.

  • Significant problem saving files in Photoshop CS2

    I am running Photoshop CS2, with Windows Vista Home Edition.
    My problem is a new one, as Ive been running the program the exact same way since I bought it several years ago. Two weeks ago I bought an Intuos 3 tablet, and installed the software that came with it (including Corel Painter Essentials), and updated the drivers for Vista. After doing so, the appearance of my save menu changed in photoshop, but everything still ran properly.
    Yesterday when I tried to save a file that I had opened and modified (a photoshop file, not .jpg), Photoshop stopped responding. I did not receive any error message, the program simply froze, and refused to respond. I gave it more than five minutes before shutting it down. This has happened three consecutive times. I can save a new file, (using the save as function), but anytime I attempt to merely save (either using control-s, or by selecting save from the file menu) Photoshop stops responding.
    I have not edited any preferences or settings.
    I have lost a great deal of time and work over this, and am beyond frustrated. Any help would be very truly appreciated!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same problem.
    There was nothing off screen, escape did not help. I don't usually get a box when all I'm doing is saving (unlike using 'save as'). I haven't had any messages from Windows Error Reporting, and don't see anything in the System Event Log, but don't know exactly what I'm looking for as I don't access it regularly.
    I've ordered the CS4 upgrade. Should arrive this week.
    My new question is, should I uninstall my current configuration, install Photoshop Elements 6.0 (which came with my tablet), and upgrade that? Or should I leave it as is, and install the upgrade on my current configuration?
    Will CS4 fix my problem? Or will the problem merely transfer onto it?
    Any help greatly appreciated!

  • Problem saving files to PDF in Illustrator CS4 [Mac]

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with saving files as PDF's in illustrator CS4 - something I've happily done for years until about a week ago.
    It seems to be something to do with the "Save As" command. When I select Save As and then select PDF, the PDF saves as a copy of the current file rather than it saving as a file itself. It also doesn't rename itself properly. Saving a file in the .ai format seems unaffected.
    The multiple page function also seems to be affected - I can create multiple pages no problem, but upon saving the PDF reads as a single page PDF in both Acrobat and Preview. Reopening the same file in Illustrator reveals that the extra pages are there, but not showing in the PDF.
    Any thoughts? I've trashed preferences and repaired permissions, but no joy....
    Any help greatly appreciated

  • Problems saving files in Snow Leopard

    I've just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (I know I'm a dinosaur...) and am now having major problems saving Appleworks files. 
    When I'm doing corrections, I sometimes need to save a file over 10 times and my helpful "Do you want to replace this file?" box has gone and instead it's saving as a new file and adding another 'full stop' at the end of the file name.  It's driving me nuts!
    Is there any way to get back to just over-writing the file?
    Any help gratefully received...
    Thanks
    Take care
    Marianne

    This is turning out to be really crazy. I haven't added any third party application at all.
    Last night I tried Roger's 'command-S' and it worked on a different document I opened.  I tried the same document, changed it, 'Saved As' and it asked me if I wanted to over-write the file. 
    I then opened the original document I was having trouble with, hit 'Save As' and the same thing happened; it just made multiple copies of the file.  It seems to be a problem with this particular client and all his files; unfortunately, he's the client I do the most work for.
    Now I don't know why it's happening on some documents and not on others.
    Any further ideas?  Can I do something to this client's files, re-save them or whatever, so I don't have this problem?
    Thanks again...

  • Problems saving files to network with Adobe CC on Mac OS Yosemite

    Hi there
    I have just made the change up to Adobe CC on my four Mac computers.
    This consists of three Mac Minis (new) running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (as installed by Apple) and an iMac running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    The problem we have is on the Mac Mini's, when I am working within InDesign, if I create a new file and then try to save it, it will only save to either the local Mac hard drive or the Creative Cloud. Any attempts to save this file to a local network Mac or Windows server results in an error regards permissions (Error code 1).
    If I save this file to the desktop of the Mac and close the file, I can then drag and drop it into the network location with no problems, thus the permissions are correct on the servers and the issue is coming from InDesign.
    But the iMac which has had it's OS X upgraded, this allows the saving of files to any of the locations with no problems.
    If an InDesign file is stored in any of the locations and I attempt to open the file, any stored on the local network servers will error on the Mac Mini's, but will open on the iMac.
    Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour at all and have a possible way to resolve this?
    At current all work is stored locally and moved into position, or copied off of the server, worked on and then moved back. This is not an acceptable way to work permanently.
    Thanks,
    Rabidengineer.

    Having same issue. Using Indesign CC 2014.2 update, OS X 10.10.3 and any server using a smb, afp, or cifs connection.

  • Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

    I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

    I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
    I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
    I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
    Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

  • Having problems saving files in CS2

    I'm learning the program: Classroom in a book from InDesign CS2. In the beginning when the file was small I was having no problem saving the doc. But after The doc got bigger and I had done many things to it, I would save the doc, the save word in file was gray as it is suppose to be, then I would close the file. When I reopened the doc all my work would be gone. I have recreated this 3 times now and the same thing keeps happening, NO SAVED FILE. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you advance for your help, Sherrine

    How are you opening the file (double-clicking an icon, File > Open,
    File > Open Recent, etc.)? Are you saving/opening over a network? It
    sounds to me like you may be opening the wrong file. Try doing some work
    on the file, and then Save As to a unique name. Then use File > Open
    Recent to open the file and see if your changes are there.

  • Problem saving files across Mac network

    Hi all, hoping someone has run into this and can help—
    We're running into a problem working with trying to find a way to have multiple users modify the same indd file without having to change the Sharing and Permissions on an individual file basis?

    Not a server per se (and maybe that's the problem), but it's just one Intel iMac running Leopard with the InDesign files on it, and one newer iMac running Snow Leopard trying to read/work with the files. The protocol is AFP. For the second user (newer Mac) it forces a "Save As" instead of "Save" and then denies permission to overwrite the original. If they save the file locally and replace the original, the same thing then happens to the first user.
    We've checked permissions on the files, and everything should be accessible. I'm wondering if the differing versions of the OS might have something to do with it, though I don't know why it would. Will upgrade anyway, but in the meantime Adobe keeps saying it's a Mac issue, and Mac keeps blaming Adobe. Thanks for taking the time to respond, btw.

  • Occasional problem saving files...

    In some apps, e.g. Automator, when you choose to save a file, you are presented with a restrictive list of places you can save to (in the "Where" drop-down list). In that drop-down list, there is often a list of "recent places" that you can save to, but no option to create a new save location.
    When this happens:
    a) How can I save my file (in this case an Automator workflow) where I want, rather than the locations the program has presented to me?
    b) How is the "recent places" list constructed - is there anything I can do to influence this particular list?

    Doh. Curse you Apple for your sometimes ridiculously counter-intuitive UI design!
    In the "Save As" dialog, the box where you type the file name looks like a drop-down list... but it isn't. The arrow at the end is completely separate to the text box and in fact swtiches the whole dialog box from a "simple" view to a more advanced view that allows you to browse for a save location.
    Only discovered this by clicking on everything in the dialog box out of frustration.
