Scan for macro viruses. This is signature behavior of some Word macro virii and assume same could affect Excel.

Is this for saving into a certain directory? Are there rights to that directory... Is this an existing file or a new one. Are there permissions set on the file, is it protected, etc.
Just some questions to verify...

I'm having the same problem. If I open an exsisting file I can "save" it but if I try and "save as" nothing happens and I can't do anything within the document, but if I hit esc I can work in the doc again. Word is working fine. I have also scanned for viruses and have tried the repair/reinstall. Help.
