- Repair Office from the Office CD. Office has a module to save files that differs from the standard Windows module, as far as I know.
- If that doesn't help: Uninstall and reinstall from the Office CD.
- If that doesn't help check for malware with, for example, panda or housecall online scans.

Hope this helps.
