SYMPTOMS
========

You may receive one of the following error messages when trying to save a *.DOT
file and/or other documents from Word for Windows to a Novell Server using
Novell's Redirector on a computer running Windows 95.

  Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write
  protected.

-OR-

  There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may
  be lost.

CAUSE
=====


When you try to save a file in Word, it will create some temporary files. One of
the actions Word takes is to move the current file into a temporary file using
the MoveFile API call in Windows NT. When this call is resolved through Novell's
redirector, it returns with a failure. This causes Word to return the error
message above.

NOTE: After installing the OS/2 Namespace on the Novell server, this error may
disappear.

STATUS
======

Novell has confirmed this to be a problem in Novell Client 32 redirector, Please
contact Novell for a fix and further information.
