Hello,
I am using the Word COM objects via ColdFusion pages.
Everything works nice and smooth except for one thing, very weird.

I am opening a Word document, I read it and modify it OK, but when I try to
save it, by "TheDocument.Save()" it throws me this exception:

'Save' is not a property

even if Save is called as a method, not a property. And no other details on
the error.

IMPORTANT remark: The above save method works well in Word XP, but it
stopped working in Word 2003 and Word 2007.
Also, all methods and properties work fine in Excel, PowerPoint, all
versions, except for this Save and SaveAs methods in Word 2003 and 2007.

I have tried SaveAs, I have also tried Save with the optional parameters,
but with no luck.
My PC has plenty of memory and hdisk available.

What is "TheDocument"? Is it a document object?

Yes, TheDocument is a document object, which I successfully use to open a
document, read and write data... It is only this Save method that throws the
exception, and the exception doeesn't have any other code or error number.
Again... it works in Word XP, but not in Word 2003 or 2007.
