Others complain about the Save option bringing up a window that requires the name and location to save the file. It also asks for a file type but doesn’t let users insert any type at all. Consequently, they can’t save files.

Do you also find yourself unable to save any WordPerfect files? In this article, we discuss a couple of troubleshooting tips to help you make the program save files again.

What can I do when WordPerfect will not save files?

1. Get Windows and Corel WordPerfect to work together

An incompatibility issue between Windows and Corel WordPerfect could lead to this problem so find the main WordPerfect program and change compatibility settings manually to run the program in compatibility mode of Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

Go to Start > All Programs > WordPerfect Office. Find the version you’re using, right-click the program icon, hit Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab. Finally, set to Run this program in compatibility mode Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

2. Delete the template file for WordPerfect

Corrupt templates may sometimes cause problems with saving files, so try to delete the template file for WordPerfect and reopen the program. WordPerfect will recreate the template on reopening and give you a fresh start.

3. Rename the PerfectFit Document Management folder

Another solution is to enter into Programs Files > Corel/WordPerfect Office > Programs. While here, you need to look for the PerfectFit Document Management folder and rename it to XXPerfectFit.

You might get the Windows warning Do you want to allow…, so click Yes when it happens. It might be a little annoying to repeat this action, yet this brings you back to saving WordPerfect files with ease.

4. Use WordPerfect Troubleshooting

If your computer is not capable of using the Windows XP virtualization or the above steps made no difference, try to right-click on the WordPerfect icon and select Troubleshooting. Let it take you through the entire procedure and confirm that the save function is back to working properly.
