This article was previously published under Q42059 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, after you click Save or Save As on
the File menu, the Save button sometimes remains dimmed even though a name
has already been assigned to the document.
CAUSE
This problem can occur when you try to save to a floppy disk that is
locked. Check to be sure that the disk is unlocked. This problem can
also occur when you try to save to a folder on a server for which you
don't have access privileges.
WORKAROUND
If you have a hard disk or a two-drive system, choose the Drive button
(the Desktop button in System 7.0) in the Save or Save As dialog box.
This procedure allows you to save to another disk, providing it is
unlocked.
