    Can't save word possessor docs.

    Why can't I save microsoft word or pdf docs in Windows 10 file explorer folder's? I also cannot save adobe pdf docs to the file explorer.

    "save as" in Win 10?

    I used to save a file, either from a word doc, or a web page, by right-clicking and 'save as' appeared. I can't do that now. How do I save as in 10? Thanks.

    Can't save word possessor docs.

    Open File Explorer and try to navigate to the path/folder you wish to save in. It may be you do not have permissions to access that specific folder. If that is the case, navigating through File Explorer and double clicking the folder should prompt you to gain access to the folder.

    Please respond if this works or not *Smile

    Thanks for the idea Solidcancer07, I tried what you suggested. No problem accessing that folder (or any of the others for that matter). Any other ideas?

    Ok lets see. Two things come to mind:

    1. Right click the folder you are trying to save in, and click Properties. Under Attributes in the General tab, make sure and try to uncheck the "Read Only" option. Try saving in your Word again then.

    2. Again right click the folder and click properties, and then click the Security tab. Click your username, and then click Edit next to "To change permissions, click Edit". Try changing the permissions to see if this helps (though it already seems your permissions are fine)

    Does this occur when saving in a specific folder (e.g. your Documents), or is it system wide? What if you try to save to a USB Flash drive?

    As a random diagnostic test, make scribble in paint and try to save that in your folder *Smile

    That seems to work but files revert to Read Only when I turn my computer back on in the morning. It is the same in Apache and Word and is a brand new and very irritating trick that has started with Windows10.
    Any idea on how to get a permanent fix? And please be easy with me as I am certainly not a techie.
    Thanks, Don
