SYMPTOMS

When you browse to a Microsoft Office 2000 document through the HTTP protocol in Internet Explorer 5.0, make edits to the document, and then attempt to save it back to the Web, the Save option is unavailable (appears dimmed). In many cases, if you attempt to use the Save As option, you receive one of the following error messages:
There has been a network or File permission error. The network connection may be lost. (file name)
Document not saved.

CAUSE

The feature to save an Office 2000 document to a FrontPage Web is unavailable if the Office 2000 program is started within Internet Explorer 5.0.

WORKAROUND

To save an Office 2000 document to a FrontPage Web, open the document in the appropriate Office program, and then save the document by using Web Folders. For example, if the document you are saving is a Microsoft Word document, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft Word.
  2. On the File menu, click Open.
  3. In the Open Web dialog box, click Web Folders.
  4. Click the Web Folder location where the Microsoft Word document resides, and then click Open.
  5. Find the document that you want to edit, click the document name, and then click Open.
  6. Make any edits to the document that you want.
  7. Click File and then click Save.
