Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error.

After you close the error message, the document is changed to read-only.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if you run Citrix MetaFrame on the network.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not open the Word document from the USB floppy disk drive on the Windows-based terminal (WBT) client.
