Everything works fine now. Thanks for your help. I was in the middle of writing &nbsp;my masters thesis and I was hoping I would be able to continue working on it in Word. Huge thanks.

I'm glad you're up and running! &nbsp;Now, make two backup copies of your thesis before you do anything else :)<br />
<br />
What finally fixed it for you?

Hello. I am using Word 2002 on Windows XP Pro. A few days ago I noticed that I started getting the following error,<br />
<br />
saving the autorecovery file is postponed &lt;document anme&gt;<br />
<br />
Then whenever I would try to save a file (File&gt;Save as well as clicking the 'save' icon on the toolbar) nothing happens. The save feature in Word does not work at all. When I try to close the file, Word asks me if I want to save the document. If I say yes, the box closes and returns to Word (the program never closes). But if I select 'no' (and lose my work) it closes as normal. <br />
<br />
I have done a repair on Word twice and no change. <br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
