Is this the paid release for Microsoft Word? Did you happen to install a security update recently? If you did, are you running 10.6? If you are running 10.6, you are in the wrong forum. PPCs can't run 10.6. We can ask a moderator to move your thread in that event, so just answer the question, and we'll help you in whatever way necessary.

Hi a brody
Thanks for your help. I confess my limitations with the technical side. My install DVD says Mac OS version10.6.2 and I am using Microsoft Office v.X. I have not installed a security update.
Then you have an iMac Intel, not a PPC. Now, since you haven't installed a security update, and you are sure you haven't the only reason the documents may not save is that the installation was not good. Be sure first your data is backed up. Try to run the installer for Office inside the Installer folder, and to be doubly certain, download the latest Office v.X patch. If it still doesn't work, you may want to try an Office alternative such as NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Writer.
Update your mac as far as possible, which makes it easier for Word to work. Also, you might be able to get then the latest updates for that office Package.
I don't recommend that. When someone isn't technically inclined they might miss some critical component. Let's first try something simple. Office v.X for instance will not work in Mac OS X 10.7.
just download Pages and you will never have that kind of problems
Pages isn't free, OpenOffice, Google Docs, and Zoho are all free. Neo Office is just $5. Pages may not be as compatible as some of the others. Plus they need to upgrade to 10.6.6 first to "download" it. Otherwise they have to buy it as part of the iWork package.
I went to Word Help Mactopia and eventually landed on the Office for Mac answer page. Other people were having this problem. It was suggested that there might have been a problem created by the latest security update from Apple and that running software update might help. I ran it and it seems all is well again. So you were on to it from the beginning. Thanks so much.
