SharePoint 2007 - Create New Document opens in Office 2010 in Read Only-Mode
I'm working with a SharePoint 2007 SP2 August 2010 Cumulative Patch and when I go to a document library and select New Document it opens up in Word\Excel 2010 in Read Only Mode. After selecting Edit and modifying the document I go to save and the only option available is to save locally and even when I manually add in the library path it doesn't work I receive an error something to the effect of "path is not valid". I've read about 100 entries on the web and have seen many that are individual computer changes (which I have tried most) and nothing has worked. Bigger issues is this is all users (All user Office 2010) so a manual change to each desktop hopefully is not the only option. However, at this point none of those options have worked either. So if anyone has an idea I would love to hear it... -Stacy

Hi, There are many reasons which lead to the occurence of your situation, I’m not sure which is your problem. According to your description, you have met with error “path is not valid”: Cause The 32-bit server had the /3GB switch added to its BOOT.INI file. Resolution Chad removed the /3GB switch and rebooted the server. Since this problem might only occur once per week, Chad agreed to go ahead and archive the case at this time. Another solution is that: repairing/reinstalling Office 2010 and check out IE/office security setting. Here is a useful link, please refer to: http://sphelpdesk.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!D9676F3678CF7BE7!122.entry?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=130281160 I hope it can help you a little. Best regards, David Hu
