Hello everyone.just deletes it from said path amd renames it back to what it was before.
I am trying to create a document which then will be saved as a template for further use. The problem is, that everytime when I'm trying to save it by giving it a name and a path, word just seems to create or rename my file and then after one second
For example when I try to save document to desktop and call it template, the document called template will appear for one second on the desktop and on the top bar inside word you see the name swapping from document to template. After about a second thename at the top swapps back and the files disappears from my desktop. If I close the document at this point, word asks me if I want to safe it before closing. (because it didn't really save my file)
I tried every fix I was able to find (reinstalling word, open and repair, some sort of maggie fix, different computers etc) and ended up opening a new empty document entirely and copying everything over step by step, saving every chance I get to createa new working document. Now I'm here with like 30 documents and literally at the last page.
The second last page is in landscape mode while the last page has to be normal. So I create a section break next page (not sure if this is the correct english term, in german its called "Abschnittswechsel (Nächste Seite)) and swap from landscape tonormal and as soon as I do this, the problem appears again.
I tried to find out what the problem was too by taking the document and deleting parts out of it until the problem disappears and it seems to be connected with section brakes.actual problem is really just that this file somehow just can't be saved what ever I try.
The document has 9 pages in total, 2 of which need to be in landscape and the rest is normal. I unchecked the "connect with previous" under the header/footer options because landscape and normal use different placements for the header objects.
I am using a dell PC with win10 and Office 365. Sry for the wall of text but I tried giving as much info as possible. I have spent days now trying to find a solution and I couldn't find the source of the problem. I hope I can find some help here. The
Hey Peter thanks for the reply.
My description is long because the problem seems to be very specific.
I know how to use 'save as' and then pick template. The point is that when I do that, the behavior I mentioned above happens (new file appearing for a second then disappearing again and the name changes back to what the file was called before saving).
I asked many people already and no one even heard of this before, thats why I'm asking here.
If someone wants to help but doesn't understand my description then please ask and I will try to put it in other words.

Hallo Kim,
Win10, Word 2019 French :
Just tried to create a similar template from raw.
I want to save under Z:\a\template.dot (Z: is a local NAS storage).
Same as you : nothing under Z:\a\ ... !
Hum, hum M$ please, is that normal, logical or just boring ??
I opened Word and choosed the last file (my template).
It's located under 'OneDrive' folder What the f**k is it doing here ? 'onedrive' folder -> documents -> personnalized Office models
Doesn't not solve the problem but hope that at least you have a copy back.
HTH

Hi FxM
I'm not using Onedrive at all. FIles are on a data server but I'm testing it local on my desktop and I'm still having those problems.
Hi Jfk,
Did you check if the file was saved somewhere else than where you expected ?
I'm also not using Onedrive nor wanted it. It was just installed on my
PC. Was my two cents. Doesn't work for you, sorry.
Regards
FxM
Have you tried uninstalling and installing Office again? Maybe there
also some permission problems we might not consider? Simply it's some of
bug here.
