Yes I know all docs are attached to a template but I only make changes to text and smaller items and never mess with the template. And for many of my docs, they are transfers from Word 97 and so they aren't new.

But the issue is now moot. I disconnected the addins (they were automatic) that involved Bluetooth (which I don't even have or use) and now the doc just saves and all is fine.

Now I can get back to writing my new mystery novel, huh?
