SYMPTOMS

If you try to save an HTML document with dependent files (such as GIF images) to a standard folder that has a space in its name, you receive the following error message:
Word did not save the document
If you browse the workspace to the given folder, the file is visible. But if you double-click the file to open it, you do not see the depending files that are associated with the file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior:
  • Rename the folder, and remove the space. -or-

  • Delete the folder, and then recreate it without a space.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

These Microsoft Office HTML documents are also called thickets (the set of files and folders that are created when a document is saved with the Save as a Web Page command from an Office application). They are only supported in standard folders. Enhanced folders do not support any structures similar to thickets (that is, HTML files with relative links). If you attempt to check in a thicket to an enhanced folder, SharePoint Portal Server displays the following error message:
You are about to check in an HTML document. HTML documents that contain references to images or other files may not display correctly after being checked in. You can avoid such issues by moving your document and references to a standard folder. Do you want to check in this document?
NOTE: You cannot configure security for a thicket subfolder.
