Hi Marlaina, I've seen this sort of thing happen when there is something selected in the File Table of the Save dialog. If it is a file, then it will not save and if it is a folder, it simply opens the folder instead of saving. If you hit the Save button a second time once the folder has opened, it will save but you may not know exactly where it went. I'm guessing that this is your issue. Try this:
• Press cmd-shift-s for Save As. • Just begin typing the filename instead as VO will usually be focused there anyway. • Press VO-End (that's FN-VO-End on a laptop) which will automatically take you to the Save button. • If you need to get back to change it to a Word document, then VO-left to get there. • You can then simply press return to save it. It will usually save in the same location as your original file but if you need to change that then do the following to ensure that nothing is selected when you press the Save button. • Interact With the File table. • Press VO-cmd-space on any file/folder in the table. • If it says selected then do the above step again otherwise Stop Interacting With the Table and make your way to the Save button and press it. This should do it for you. Later... On 2010-11-28, at 8:46 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Ok, this is a weird one!
