There are actually 3 errors here.
- When I open Word, I get:
Word cannot open the existing global template. ()
- If I create a file, type a character and try to save to the desktop (that I have no problems writing to otherwise), I get:
Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write-protected.
Try one or more of the following: * Free more memory * Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged. ()
I am just saving to the desktop, and I can save excel files (or anything else) there. After the failure, if I save again, the default file name becomes: .doc...doc Weird.
Finally, when I close word completely, I get: Do you want to replace the existing Normal.dotm.
