No "Save As" options in Word 2000

Yes, indeed

Hi Terry

Yes, it occurred suddenly some time ago (yes, it did work before), but
unfortunately I really can't remember what I did to the computer at the
time that might have caused it...

Word saves alright in the format of the file that is currently open, and
it saves new documents as .doc

It really isn't a big issue, actually, because I rarely have to save
files in a different format, although today I had a docx file (which I
can open alright via the compatibility pack) that I wanted to save as
doc but was unable to do so - fortunately OpenOffice 3 came to the
rescue

Any other ideas/suggestions? If not, I guess I'll just have to live with
it (although I tend to be quite determined in trying to get to the
bottom of such mysteries )

A tough one and I'm thinking about it...

Hi Herbert,

Is this with any document, or only certain ones?

If you use Tools=>Customize=>Commands
and from the 'Tools' choice drag the 'COM Add-ins'
choice to a menu, then use it, are there any COM Add-ins
listed as active and does removing them make a difference?

You mentioned considering running a repair before, was that done?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, as far as I am aware it happens with any document.

Yes, COM Add-Ins lists two Add-ins, i.e. Web Page Wizard (which points
to an MS Office file called WEBPAGE.DLL), which is not activated, and
Babylon Translator Addin (which relates to my Babylon software (see
<http://www.babylon.com/>), although I had no idea the software had
added this add-in to Word!) and is activated.

Deactivating the Babylon add-in doesn't make any difference to the Save
As behaviour - should I try removing it rather than just deactivating it?

Re. repair - no, I haven't done this yet.

Regards

Sorry about the delay in coming back to this.

Repair didn't help, but I just discovered that the problem was related
to my File-Ex software (see <http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/fx3summ.html>).

I have been using this software for years and it is excellent, but it
would appear that I had 'messed up' my settings for MS Word on this
computer.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help, and sorry I was 'barking up the
wrong tree' :-[
