1) Everyone once in a while, I'm unable to save a Word file or save as. There is no response from Word when I press the buttons. In this case the file was new and unnamed.
Suggested solutions aside from work-arounds?
2) Also, I signed out of Office, signed back in and closed the document. Then a restored version popped up, which again I could not save as, and I have no idea where the restored version went. There is nothing under Recents.

This is a question for other Mac users of Word in the Microsoft answers community. Not an Apple product.
Show more LessBig Sur update 11.4 I just updated to Big Sur 11.4 from the previous version. Once I did, I was unable to save or edit anything in word (the issue looks to be the same in excel). I can open word including previously saved documents but cannot edit or save - these options are shaded out in the menu. I tried restarting and re-subscribing to and re-installing the newest version of office 365 but nothing changed. It may be an incompatibility issue between the new update and word? I didn’t back up so I can’t restore to 11.3. I have a MacBook Air M1. Please help I use word every day for work - this is a nightmare.
MAC OS Monterey won't let me save word documents I upgraded to MAC OS Monterey 12.3, and now when I am trying to save documents in Word (365 for Mac), the Save As box does not appear, so I have no way of saving a document! This happens with saving a new document and with existing ones I want to Save As something else. I tried opening a new document and saving it from here, but still no box appears. Even if I close the document, it will ask me if I want to save before closing. I click Save, and nothing happens.
microsoft Word not saving documents I’ve done the Catalina upgrade, and now my Word documents won’t save. It goes through the document save process, then doesn’t actually save the version. It saves a file with zero KB. Word then won’t shut down and gives the error message that documents can’t be saved under the same name (they’re not). I’ve tried saving to pen drives and the same thing happens. I’ve tried restarting and shutting down the laptop to no avail. The frustration is real! Any tips please?
