Hello everyone,
My first post and I joined because I am looking for help for this problem. I searched and found some info but no solution, so I'm starting a new thread.
As of today, I cannot save new files in Word. I use a MacBook Pro, OS X v 10.6.8, Word 2004 for Mac.
I did two things. I bought a Magic Mouse and got it working, and also updated both OS X and Word.
Then, working in Word, I did a "Save As" on a file and Word froze. The "save" and "save as", and other items such as "quit word" grayed on the drop down menus and don't work. The leftmost of the three colored buttons on the top left of the document I was trying to save also froze (it uncolored, actually, no color in it)
So, I forced quit Word, restarted it, and all the appropriate items in the drop downs were active. I opened a file and I can do a "Save" on an open file. However, "save as" and a "save" on a previously unsaved document produce the freeze as described above.
Rebooting does not solve the problem. I do not get the save dialogue box where I get to name a file and tell it where to go when it freezes. I do not get an error message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
