Issues when saving files over one another

[Videomanmac]

So for some reason, whenever I use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc and I open up a saved document, make changes to it, and save it again, it doesn't save! Even if I go into File>Save As and save it, it doesn't save. I have to save the file in a different location, so if I save it in Desktop the first time, I must resave it in documents the next, or else it won't save.

have you made sure to keep office updated? Microsoft is pretty good at keeping things in tune with Mac OS releases as long as you keep the updates current? I had some problems with the early versions of High Sierra and keeping HS updated helps too.

thanks for the reply - am updating from 16.13.1 - thought I was up to date - lol

edit - thanks again I updated to 16.15 and no issues - all seems fine here.

It almost seems like your files are opening as read only files? and does not have permission to write over the files?
