Since Office 2016 early versions, and until v15.20 if I am not wrong, we had issues with Pwrpoint (and sometimes Excel, while Word was ok) with files stored on NetApp-based SMB shares, where the file was set to 0 bytes, simply after pressing Save button (saving file locally, then copying using Finder was working OK).

I have several Mac users with a mix of Office:2011 and Office:2008 for the Mac. All network file sharing is being done from a Windows 2003 box via SMB. All users with either windows office 2007 or Mac Office:2008 have never had any problem reading, creating, saving word documents to the 2003 server. We installed a few Mac machines with Office:2011 thinking there would be no issues.

We have had no issues with excel when opening excel files, editing, and saving to the network share. However, if creating a new word document locally and attempting to save by 'clicking' to the destination on the 2003 server we receive consistently an error 'There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost. All permissions are set so that all users have full read and write access on this share point. I can open word files on this share point, however when I edit and go to 'save as.' We receive the error: 'This is not a valid file name. Try one or more of the following: *Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. Microsoft office student 2016 for mac.

*Select a file from the list of files and folders.' However, I am able to 'replace' or 'move' a document to the server by 'drag and drop'. Saving locally and then moving to the server. I also have multiple network share folders. The other network share folders I am able to read, write, edit, and save word files like normal.

It is just the one main network share. I've tried creating new shares etc to no avail. I've tried changing save settings in word to no avail. I've tried creating 'Macintosh' shares on the windows server over AFP and receive the disk space error and low on memory error.' Any help would be apprecaited. The only option at this point is to downgrade word to 2008 or use office 2007 virtually.

If more than one user logs in to a Mac OS X Server from different client computers and with the same UID, they will be unable to save server-stored files using a Microsoft Office application after any of the users logs out. When a save is attempted, this alert will appear: 'There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.' Workarounds You can use one of these workarounds: • Use a shared directory service instead so that every user logs in with their own unique ID.
