Hello,  

It sounds like you're encountering a frustrating issue with saving one of your .docx files in Trados Studio 2022. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the "Could not find part of the path" error:

**Step 1:** Check the File Path  

Ensure that the file path for the document you are trying to save does not exceed 255 characters. If it does, consider shortening the folder names or the file name itself.

**Step 2:** Verify Permissions  

Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access the folder where you are trying to save the file. You can do this by right-clicking the folder, selecting 'Properties', and checking the 'Security' tab.

**Step 3:** Close Other Applications  

Ensure that the .docx file is not open in any other application, such as Microsoft Word. Close any instances of the file and try saving again.

**Step 4:** Check Antivirus Settings  

Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with file saving. Add Trados Studio to your antivirus's exception list, particularly for the temporary files folder located at `C:\Users\%username%\App Data\Local\Temp`.

**Step 5:** Create a New Temporary Folder  

You can create a new folder in the temporary directory. Type `%temp%` in Windows File Explorer, create a new folder named `SDLTemp File Regen`, and try saving the file again.

**Step 6:** Check for OneDrive Issues  

If you are using OneDrive, it may be causing conflicts. Try pausing OneDrive syncing or excluding the Trados Studio folder from syncing.

**Step 7:** Run as Administrator  

Try running Trados Studio as an administrator. Right-click the Trados Studio icon and select 'Run as administrator'.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide additional details such as the exact file path you are using and any recent changes to your system or Trados Studio. This information will help in diagnosing the problem more effectively.

Do you use OneDrive? Where are your files stored? Have you created the project yourself?

Hi  Jerry,

thanks for getting back to me, but the AI suggestion to shorten the name of the containing folder appears to have worked, I can now save the file.

Thanks again,
Brendan
