Hi Jan,
Okay. Since this is the first I've heard of problems with Word 2004 saving
to a server, I can't judge whether the problem is with Word or unique to
your system. However, previous *can't* save to server problems (with Word X
and earlier) seem to have been fixed with OS X 10.3.3 (the most current OS
being 10.3.4). Upgrading your system should help considerably, but no
guarantees.
Sorry not to be of more help.
