Hi, Michal, I just tried it again, this time using the "save" first. It worked, with no error! And my file included the changes I had made!
I then tried the "save copy". That is when the first error message occurred. I think I was confused about the timing in my first Email. The message is correct and complete, though. I guess someone is truncating it? On closing the window it again crashed. I think the problem is in the "save copy" command; if I just open and "save", things seem to work. If I get a chance I will try to file a bug report. Thank you for your help.
