Well, if you're saving in the same location as the original file (document
or template), you *can't* use the same name. But you could change the name
of the original file before doing the save and then name the new file with
the original file name; or you could save with a new name and make the
changes later. In other words, yes, the corruptions will go away if you use
the same name.

It sounds like a fluke. Can you post back with the exact steps you took
that resulted in this dialog box? If it is a mistake, then someone at MS
should take a look and see if they can reproduce it so it can get fixed.
