Unable to save word 2007 documents

[mwilli]

I am trying to save word documents using "save as" in my documents and on
flash drive. I have Vista operating system. Windows just stalls with the
moving circle appearing over my document. This just started happening. I've
been using Word 2007 for a year without this issue.

Save to your hard drive, then copy to your flash drive.

that's not working either...The only way I'm able to save the document is by
using "save", but that doesn't allow me rename my document.

If you need to have a copy with a different name, you could (after
exiting Word) use Windows Explorer to copy it to a different folder
and there give the copy a different name.

No idea why Save As won't work, though -- something to do with
Permissions and Security and things like that?
