This is weird...
I just did a re-install of Word 2000 over my current version (as I thought it had gone a little glithcy and may have gotten corrupted). Now I have a strange thing happening.
Everything works as normal EXCEPT now I can't save anything! When I click "Save" or "Save As" to save a new document (or changes to an old one) nothing happens. I mean NOTHING. Usually, a "Save As Type" box appears and you enter the name and type of document you want to save and the folder where you want it to be saved. That box never appears. Instead, absolutely nothing happens. If I go to close the document, the usual warning box appears and asks if I want to save the changes I made. If I click NO, it closes document. If I click YES it closes the warning window and expects that I will save the changes -- but as I've stated above I cannot. Weird. Any ideas? After fooling with every possible setting, and going through every Help option on the subject of saving documents, I can only think that the install disk got corrupted. I have re-installed 3 times now. Same thing.
Only change that has taken place around the same time was I installed Adobe Acrobat 5.0. Would this change how Word saves (or more accurately, doesn't save) documents?
Whatya think?
