Unable to save word documents

I am having trouble saving word documents. The warning says that I have too many applications open, but Word is the only one open. I have plenty of memory. Help!

This might be low disk space, what does Activity Monitor show for pageouts, ram, disk usage?
This is not the macbook pro forum.
what version of Office Word?

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.

Mandy

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.

Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server. If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy. While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010 and Acrobat X, etc)
I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI.
Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
Internet Explorer 9
Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
This is only started happening this week?

No longer able to save Word documents - older Macbook

When I have tried to save multiple Word documents recently, I get this message:
"Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write-protected. Try one or more of the following:
*Free more memory
*Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged"
I have 60GB of free space, but to be sure, I deleted 30 old documents and still no dice. I have no idea what write-protected means.
Thanks.

"as you work. Consequently, if working in Word for a long period of time, and frequently "saving" Word will hit its quota of saves and refuse to save anything else. The error messages ("too many documents open" or "disk full") are bogus and obviously not true in the real sense, but serve to worry the user and displace blame away from ms...
Thus it appears that this bug hits cautious users the hardest - as "saving early and saving often" is precisely what makes it happen. You might say "once burned, twice shy, thrice slapped in the face by microsoft."
The solution when the problem hits is to simply copy your changes since the last save (possibly paste them elsewhere), shut down MS Word, reopen it, then just paste your changes into the document, which will still be saved in its previous incarnation. If editing a document, this can be a bit more annoying as the changes might not be a paragraph or two, but rather a whole pile of little changes spread over an entire paper..." (TheMac19)

Unable to Open Word Documents Since Mavericks 10.9.5 Update

Since updating to Mavericks 10.9.5, I can no longer open Word documents that were created/edited between 8-27 and 9-18-14, and that I had opened 9-17 and earlier. I receive the following message when I attempt to open a document:
"Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,
or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /)."
I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.5., and a MacBook Air 1.8GHz, Intel Core i7, mid 2011. Can you help?

Anybody else experiencing this? No mention of effects on Quicktime in the 10.9.5 upgrade notes.

Unable to save a document to any device

I hate to cross post but not sure this fit peripherals.
My 12" Powerbook G4, OS 10.4, Microsoft Word, just announced that I have no memory remaining on my hard drive to save a document (54gb free, actually) and that I need to delete some files. Tried a floppy in an external drive, same problem; tried my iDisk account, same problem. No storage device could be saved to.
I emailed the documents to a friend from within Word to preserve them and restarted the machine. Problem disappeared. Documents emailed back to me, I'm fine BUT:
Why did this happen? Is the operating system corrupt? I couldn't find any other episode in the forum that was similar.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Memory doesn't always mean gigs. If your computer was on for a lenght of time and you were doing a lot of other things during that time, your computer's working memory can get filled up and is most likely what happened. I doubt anything is corrupt. Computers get silly sometimes.

Unable to save a document to another user group

This may be a basic configuration issue, but I have recently taken over the administration role for our BO 6.5 system, and have been unable to find a solution.
A user in a Prod Pwr group is trying to save a document to another Prod user group, where he is not a member. The only group that he can choose from is his own. Can this be done, or is this normal, even for Prod Pwr users? I appreciate any insights.

This is the correct behaviour...a user can "publish to" only to the group to which s/he belongs.
A user on the other hand can use the "send to user" fuctionality and send his document to a user in any other group as far as s/he knows the users login id.
Hope this helps !

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.

Suddenly unable to combine word documents

Hi,
I've been using Adobe Acrobat X every quarter to prepare a PDF for a board meeting, combining Word Documents and PDFs.
It's always worked fine, but all of a sudden I can't combine Word anymore.
The error message that I receive is "Please remove problem files from the list or choose the Portfolio option"
When I try the Portfolio option, the error message that I receive is

Hi,
I'm using Microsoft 2010 on Windows 7.
The thing is I haven't updated my OS or Office since the last time I used Adobe Acrobat Pro when I was still able to combine Word & PDF, so I can't understand why I've suddenly lost this functionality.
Thanks alot for your help

You mean USB HUBs, correct? Not routers.
Yes remove the HUBs and try the drives connected directly to the computer.
