Word 2001 for Mac

[jdcarter]

I cannot do a Save As in Word 2001. It will blip like
something almost happens but nothing. When I quit the app
or close the doc it asks what I want to do with the
document, the only answer it accepts is Don't Save.

I think it has something to do with the fact that when I
save anything the format that is default is crazy letters,
not Word 2001 or whatever it's supposed to be.

Is there a patch beyond SR1 that I need?

Hi

Perhaps a preference file has gone awry..

Try adjusting Word's preferences. Edit > Preferences > Save tab lets you
pick the default file type to use. Resetting that preference might fix the
problem.

Yes! You need the new Combined Updater for 2001. See here:
