When I reorganize a numbers spreadsheet, I can't save the file. I get an error message saying that "it cannot be saved." Using "save as" generates the same error. Anybody have a clue what's going on? I'm using an iMac (intel) with OSX 10.6.7.

But, you can save a document that has not been reorganized?

Yep. If I don't reorganize, I can save it or save as.
Can you tell us more about your situation? What was the original OS X version on your computer? How did you upgrade to 10.6.7 if you didn't purchase it at that rev.? What is your Numbers version? (2.0.5 is the current version of Numbers.)
What is the source of your content? Was it an Excel import? Is it from a financial program export to xls?

It's a relatively new computer and came with OSX 10.6.7.
I'm using Numbers 09, ver 2.0.5.
This is a spreadsheet that I created in Numbers. It has eight sheets that are interconnected. The formulas are not complex. I've used some conditional formatting in the header rows. I'm also using footer rows. There are simple graph charts (not 3D) based on spreadsheet data, but no other graphics. I did not use any links or shapes or other graphics. I would call it a simple multi-page spreadsheet with simple graphs.
At the moment it is not a large spreadsheet. Each sheet has no more than 15 rows and columns.
I can't find anything that would cause a save failure after reorganizing. It's puzzling and very annoying.
You did a nice job of describing your condition. Sorry that I can't offer a solution or explanation. The only thing you didn't mention was whether you have run Software Update and accepted the Font Fix for 10.6.7, but I'm not sure if there is a connection there or not.
You may have triggered a bug, but not one that I've seen described here before. It's always possible that a particular document becomes corrupt, but if it's happening to all it's not so likely.
Go ahead and report using Feedback from the Numbers menu.
Perhaps someone else will reply with experience or insight on this issue.
