Hello, I have a problem with some files in Microsoft Word 2010. I have some presentations in word that I cut and pasted into the current one from an old computer. I have done this many other times in the past two years but am now having difficulty. The difficulty lies in the fact that when I work on the cut and pasted document and make changes, try to save the document with the changes when I get a message that says ( windows cannot save or create this file. Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write protected or damaged. Then (J. Irish 101.docx) This has happened to 4 documents. Thanks for any help. Nancy

Hi Nancy, Are you using Windows 7? Are you saving this to your main hard drive? Or an external drive? Or a USB drive? Does your main hard drive have enough room on it? Other than the 4 you referred to, are you able to save other Word Documents to the same hard drive folder? Have you tried saving the file with a different file name? Have you tried to save the file as a DOC file? Just a thought, but it sounds as if you may be importing something strange along with your presentations when you cut and paste. What program are the 'presentations' coming from? Do you need to import the formatting or just the text of the presentations into Word? If text only, copying the text to notepad first, then copy and paste from Notepad to Word. This will insure that only text is imported into Word. Regards, Kevin.
