Yes. I'm having a slightly different save problem with Excel where I get a message saying there is a sharing violation. Excel then saves the file with an odd numerical name and I have to retrieve and rename the file to the original filename. I will uninstall Word and Excel and then clean the registry using j16 power tools and the free Revo software. Then I'll re-install and see how it goes.

I have already tried repairing office but I may try that one more time before uninstalling.

Thanks very much for the help.
