Saving a new template (Word, Office 98), Mac OS 10.4

R

roses

Installed Office on new Mac Mini. Attempted to re-create previous
templates because of changes in available type fonts. After creating
new template, attempt to Save As, select "Document Template" in Format
box, select "My Templates" in Where box. "Save" button is greyed out
-- not functioning. Compatability screen reports "No compatibility
problems found". "Save" button remains grey, un-functioning. Any
suggestions to resolve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

The only RELIABLE suggestion I can give you is to either buy a copy of Word
2004, or remove OS 10.4 and go back to OS 9.

Word 98 was built for OS 9, it will never be happy in OS 10.4, you will get
lots of these issues because it relies on the Classic emulator running in
the Rosetta emulator and that's a bridge too far... :)

Sorry...
