Save As on an existing document causes the MS word document name icon on the task bar to pulsate and document freezes. Right clicking on icon opens window for selecting location to save document and enables document saving to proceed. How do I rectify this problem?

I have this "Error! Unknown switch argument" in my footers I'm unable to connect Headers to previous on unlink them Is my file corrupt? - 3. rescue.asd
Twice now Word 2007 failed to write to a networked drive, and offered to save the file as "rescue.asd". But when I do so and close/reopen Word and ask it to open rescue.asd, it declares that .asd is not a valid extension. Renaming it to .docx and opening results in a corrupt file message. What good are .asd files if Word won't recover them? -- Regards, Dean - 4. Word 2003 Documents (SP3)
Word 2003 documents, saved on different network share, are defaulting to read only, in error. (using windows XP Pro SP2. Server using Windows 2003 SP1. Users have full rights to the network shares.) The word document is saved as normal with no restrictions. But ocassionally when the user attempts to open the document again, it says it is "Read only" This is affecting more than one network user. Any solution to this problem - 5. Footnotes

Every time I attempt to add a new footnote, or edit an existing footnote, I receive the following error message: "Start at must be between 1 and 16383 for this format." HELP!!!

This problem is probably caused by a conflict with the Norton Office Plug-in. See "WD2002: Title Bars Flash, Word Becomes Unresponsive, or Word Cannot Close [KB 812075]" at http://www.**--****.com/

Hi Robert, The flashing task indicates Word is waiting for a response from you. The Save As dialog box is opening behind the Word application window and you don't see it. The next time it happens minimize the Word application window and see if this is the case. If so the problem is caused by one of two issues: If you are using Norton then try disabling the "Office Plug-in" option since it is known to cause dialog boxes to appear behind the application window. In Norton go to "Options" and then select "Miscellaneous" and disable the Office Plug-in option. If you are starting Word using the Quick Launch bar then this is a known bug and it has been corrected in the Office XP SP2 patch. Here is an article that contains information on obtaining the latest Office XP updates: http://www.**--****.com/ Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

1."Save as " malfunction in 2002 Office xp
I'm running windows 2000. Attempts to use the "save-as" causes the bars to blink & the program to lock up. The word find and the clipboard are also malfunctioning. The save-as function on other programs (cad) work fine.
In Word 2002...when I choose save as and open a new folder to place document in I automatically loose the original name of the document which is replaced by the name of any document I pass my cursor over.
3.Microsoft Office "Save In" box malfunction
When I'm using any of the Microsoft Office applications and I go to the Save As dialog box and try to click the drop down arrow for "Save In" to change to a different folder, the hour glass icon comes on and I'm stalled at this point. Opening the Task Manager window shows the name of the document listed twice and in each line "Not Responding". I've tried updating Office (I'm completely up-to-date), and I've run the Detect and Repair feature--neither has helped. Any suggestions?
4."Auto Recovery Save" Malfunction
As usual, I frequently saved the file. While moving around some MS word graphics, Word started working very slowly. I closed the files, then closed the program, then powered down and automatically restarted. When I went back to Word to open the file, I couldn't find it??? Then found an Autorecovery save in the "Recent documents" on the start menu. I click on the icon and get the following message. "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Autorecovery save of my file name.lnk' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the file network is available." I have unsuccessfully tried searching several times for the .asd file, for files with similar names, but couldn't find it even in the "hidden files." Where should I look for the missing file? Do you have any recommendations? Thanks.
