You may print, save, or view this document as you would any other Word document.

Regardless of whether I click Save or type ⌘-S, Word brings up the 'Save As' dialogue.  If I click OK, it warns me that that document already exists.  If I click OK to replace it, it visually goes through the motions, closes the dialogue, and looks like it has saved.  However, no new changes will have been saved, and no new changes appear in the Autosave file—even if I have been working longer than the Autosave interval. Saving As a new file name appears to work.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Regardless of whether I click Save or type ⌘-S, Word brings up the 'Save As' dialogue. If I click OK, it warns me that that document already exists.

How about other applications like Excel or PowerPoint? I did much research on this but currently haven't seen similar reports about this issue. Could you please provide the detailed build number of Word for Mac then we can do further research on this? Any findings, please feel free to post back.

Visit the dedicated to share, explore and talk to experts about Microsoft Teams. Hello, Yuki, This has only occurred since upgrading to 16.10 and appears to affect all Word documents. This does not seem to occur using other Office applications. I have posted this thread in the Microsoft Community, and have also found this thread with the same issue: My complete build number is 180210. Thank you, Daniel. This same thing is happening to me! I did the same update on my mac and now my saving is completely messed up.

I posted about it here: And someone told me to come post in TechNet but it seems someone else beat me to the punch. I really hope Microsoft fixes this quickly because it has been incredibly frustrating. I have the same problem, Save does not work.

It started occurring as soon as I updated to to Word 16.10 for mac. I have noticed that a version or so back Word creates a folder that keeps a backup of each document that has the same name as the document. If I go to the file system and rename that backup folder then Save works.

Example: If I am working on a Document named 'ThisDocument' then a backup folder named 'ThisDocument' will also be created. If I close and reopen 'ThisDocument' then Save will not work (acts like Save As). But if I go to the filesystem and rename the backup folder named 'ThisDocument' to something like 'ThisDocumentOld' Save will now work for 'ThisDocument'.
