Quit from all Microsoft apps. Never use them again (just joking, but consider it). In the user's Library folder, open the Preferences folder. Delete the file "com.microsoft.office.plist". Re-launch any affected app.
Note: If there are still issues saving, logout and log back in to Microsoft licensing.
