dragonfly October 19, 2009 Share dragonfly October 19, 2009 (edited) Ok, so when I'm planning physics, or creating a test for my students, I tend to get a little angry when I go to save and Word 2007 gives me an error, telling me it can't save the file. I've done the update. Anyone else get this problem? Any help? I dont like making tests twice. Oh, the error is as follows: A file error has occurred. (C:\....blah.docx) OK Yeah, I click the "OK" button because it's my only option. It's actually not OK. Edit: I'm running XP SP2.

dragonfly October 20, 2009 Author Share dragonfly October 20, 2009 LOL PS Bush, it's University, and I see you're as useless as you used to be in 2k4! Sorry, just had to say that! No one else had this problem? Do I have to buy windows7 to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters October 20, 2009 Share stutters October 20, 2009 i've never had that problem, but if i did, i'd try to find that temp file it's erroring out on and delete it. oh, if it was in my word document, i'd close it before i deleted that file, too.

mookie October 20, 2009 Share mookie October 20, 2009 file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/dark/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg ^^ Is this supposed to be a picture of the problem, or the cause of the problem? If the latter, I'd say why are you using Word instead of Publisher. Otherwise maybe just try a different editor; Google Docs works OK for me, just print to PDF then print the PDF. P.S. Or try LaTeX for that authentic math-professor look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack October 20, 2009 Share bushwack October 20, 2009 A college geaduate can't use Word? priceless. Hey who turned off my spell checker? @ mookie: Yeah I was kinda wondering about opening an image file in Word. In all truth I don't really know much about Word, I use Open Office.

dragonfly October 20, 2009 Author Share dragonfly October 20, 2009 Oh, I didnt even know that file thing was there. My bad. I think I tried to take a ss and then just paste it in or something. It's not the cause of the error. As for why do I use it - it SHOULD be working fine. I figured if someone knew why it wasn't, it's easier to to fix it than learn a new program. I'm getting quite efficient at math type and navigating/creating my documents. As for temp files, I'll look into that. Thanks. I know .docx is pretty much similar to a zip file, and contains a bunch of stuff, so something in there is prolly messing it all up. I can save to a .doc, but it looses some of the features I'm using. Anyway, thank you for some direction gentlemen and bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
