Word 2007: Convert Doc to Docx problem on network locations

S

StefanKZVB

Word 2007 RTM German, all patches, Win XP SP2:
A) How it behaves with converting on C:\ (ok)
1. Open C:\doc\Test.doc
2. Click the Office Button/Convert...
3. Click the Save Button
4. Result: C:\doc\Test.docx is created, C:\doc\Test.doc is deleted

B) How it behaves on a network drive (NOT ok)
1. Open F:\doc\Test.doc
2. Click the Office Button/Convert...
3. Click the Save Button
4. The Save As Dialog opens (!), click ok to save F:\doc\Test.docx
5. Result: F:\doc\Test.docx is created, F:\doc\Test.doc is NOT deleted :-(
(but you could delete it manually via Explorer as a workaround)

Can anybody reproduce this behaviour? It happens here even with files on
network shares on remote Win XP SP2 machines.
