Old bug
Authored by: tstout on Sep 23, '02 02:51:12PM
This is an old and reasonably well-known bug in MS Word (most versions up to at least 2001). It's described in MS KB article #q289545

MS's solution to this problem:
Close your document after you save it approximately 20 times. Next, reopen the document and continue working until you have saved another 20 times. Close the document again, and repeat the process as necessary. (empahsis added -tms)
Don't know if it's fixed in Office.X or not (I wouldn't bet on it), but just know this is not an OS X specific bug.

NOT Old bug

This is not the same bug. Error is not the same. I can re-produce this at will with only Word and Classic running. Error will occur on first attempt to Save. Have never had this problem, and continue not to have the problem, with OS 9 and earlier.
