Word doesn't save - it can be because of that

If Word no longer saves your documents, there can be several reasons. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

Word no longer saves - that can help

• First try to save the file in another folder. A different file name and a different file extension can also help.
• There may be no free space on your hard drive. Even if this does not seem to be the case, try to save the file on a USB stick.
• Open Task Manager and check the load on your computer. If necessary, exit some unused programs.
• Anti-virus software can also be to blame. Open the program and briefly switch off the protection.

Word can't save files - what to do?

• If all of this doesn't help, save the file in a text document for now. Right-click on an empty area on your desktop and select a "Text document" under "New".
• If you start Word in safe mode, only the most necessary services and functions will be loaded. If the files can now be saved again, look for the error in the add-ons.
• If the problem is still not resolved, simply reinstall Word. Make sure that you completely uninstall Office.
