Sometimes when working in Microsoft Office Word users may encounter problems with saving material when Word won't save document, and a system message also pops up.
The reasons for this error may be various factors, which we will try to analyze here. Perhaps some solutions will help you.
Why doesn't Word save the document?
If the document was opened from another medium (not from hard drive computer), and the media has been removed, then when saving the document, Word will give an error. In this case, save the document in a different location on your computer, not on storage media. Before pressing the button Save , remember the folder in which you save - the folder can be changed to the one that is more convenient for you.
There are some nuances here: for example, if the file is located on a flash drive and it has not been removed from the computer, but the document does not find the path to this file. The fact is that the USB drive could simply turn off, break, lose the driver, or cause another software or hardware error and therefore Word won't save the file.
The document is not saved in Word, what should I do?
And again viruses. It is no longer a secret to anyone that the presence of viruses in a system immediately or gradually leads to its inoperability. At the same time, the ways and methods of causing harm to a computer are becoming more sophisticated each time. You never know what will “fly” this time: the computer may freeze or not start at all, or maybe some program will simply stop working, for example, word doesn't save documents. So that all programs and Windows components worked flawlessly, you need to monitor the security of your computer, prevent and promptly stop all kinds of hacker and other attacks.
Word does not save changes to document
Another reason why an error may occur Word application could not save the document due to a file access error, there may also be a security problem, but not its absence, but rather its excess. As stated above, the computer must have a good working antivirus that can detect and destroy any viruses, including blocking any viral activity.
At the same time, some popular antivirus programs They protect us so much from outside “raids” that sometimes they block or completely delete files or programs that we actually need for work (rest, it doesn’t matter), which, in our opinion, are not viruses, or we just need them , but the antivirus considers them a virus and, as a result, either does not allow them to start, or deletes them completely, or may simply block some process, for example, an office program. And perhaps for this reason Word can't save the document.
To check if your antivirus is blocking Microsoft-related processes Office Word, just turn it off for a while and continue working with the document, let's try to save it. In addition to the antivirus, on all computers with the Windows operating system installed, there is a built-in Firewall that tries to protect something there, for example, block access to the network or something else. In fact, it is more disturbing and therefore, as a rule, should be disabled, but only if the system has a high-quality anti-virus program.
So, if the problem is with the antivirus, you need to. In our case this will be the file WINWORD.EXE, located in the folder: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office12/.
By adding a program to exceptions, the antivirus will no longer monitor processes associated with it. Thus, perhaps the reason errors in saving document in Word , there was a banal blocking of some Word processes by the antivirus, for example, the saving process.
What to do if Word did not save the document
Alternatively, although, of course, it is impossible not to notice, but still - HDD or the flash drive is full of files, programs, in general, the free space has run out. If this happens, insert another medium that has enough free space to save the file or document. Also, in this case, the message There is not enough free space to save the document may pop up, and therefore word returns file access error .
Of course, additional media can solve the problem to some extent, at least temporarily, if you urgently need to save a document. But what if the problem occurs in the future!? This refers to a problem with disk space being full. In this case you should
