Re: Excell and Word Hang up when attempting use Save As command

Did you visit the sites Dave provided?

A re-install of Office does nothing to help you.

It is Windows OS updates that did the deed.

Read the how-tos on the MS site.

I have uninstalled office and reinstalled. I find that new documents in
Excel and Word now behave correctlly but that pre-existing spreadsheets and
word documents still hang up when I use Save As. I do not use more than a
fraction of a percent of the office facilities in these programs so I cannot
say that there are other effects. If a solution exists that does not require
me to copy all my old documents into new ones I would like to know.

ideas as to what is wrong?
