sudenly I cannot save my doc!

[Samuel Han]

When i use Word for Mac Os X, i did not have any problems....
then i updated it with the 10.1.3, 10.1.4, 10.1.5...
but now i see this message that tells me that it is not possible to
save the document i've been working on...
and i cannot save it, i just have to copy all then paste it in a new
document...
and it tells me that it is due to wether:
* the lack of memory (which is not true because i have 1GB RAM), or
* the disk is full (not true cuz i have 31GB free) or
* the permission problem...
so if anyone could tell me what the cause is... i will apreciate it a
lot!
thanks...

Hi Samuel,

First try repairing disk permissions:

For OS 10.2.x or 10.3:
Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. Open up Disk Utility. Select
your hard disk, then click the First Aid tab. Click the button to "Repair
Disk Permissions".

For OS 10.1.5:
Download the Repair Privileges utility, free from Apple, and run it:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106900>

Also, in Preferences> Save, be sure you have "Allow Fast Saves" turned off
(and leave it off) and "Always Make Backup" turned on. And if you're in the
habit of saving frequently (a good thing), it could help to periodically
close and reopen your document. There is an old bug in Word which returns
the "disk is full" error after 60 Saves.

Hope this helps.

wow...
well thanks for ur reply...
well i had run the permission repair.... the first thing i done...
so my conclusion is that it is due to that bug u mentioned...
cuz i been workin on a large bigger than 20 page document.... so i
probably saved it more than 60 times... cuz i love to type a word and
press save....type another word and type save...
hehehehehe....
well...unless i use the Apple Works... i will never be able to get rid
of the BillGate bugs...
jejeje...
well...
at least im happy im using Mac....
well...
thanks!!!
u appreciate it a lot...
sam...
have a nice day....
by the way... did Microsoft did anything for this bug?

Well thats great that the bug is located, but in gods name hasen't it
been fixed then. 60 saves...you got to be kidding I save that every
time, and the crash is very annoying!

Will it be fixed in future updates?
