I have a mapped network folder on my Mac.
About a week ago everything was fine and I could save Word documents to my personal folder on the network drive. Now, I've been getting the following message:
"Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume"
I have the latest Office and OSX version.
Why is that?
I had the same problem. I tried what Matt Love has suggested and still had the problems. I then downloaded Cocktail and ran permission repair, rebooted and all worked again.
I had this issue once. I ended up backing up my data via Time Machine (for a get out of jail card) and then removing Office in it's entirety, rebooted my Macbook Pro, and then proceeded to reinstall Office 2011. Once I had the Office suite reinstalled the software allowed me to apply all subsequent updates without issue. This worked for my particular instances / issue, results may vary depending on software environment.

This problem appears to be tied to how Word creates temp files when saving changes. The fix appears to be creating a .TemporaryItems directory with global read/write access at the root of the network share.
Creating a .TemporaryItems directory with global read/write access at the root of the network share should fix it. If a directory with that name already exists, check the permissions on the directory and set it to be globally read/write if needed.
