Endless save loop in Microsoft Word?

Question

I'm trying to save a Word document as .docx, but each time I click the 'Save' button the dialog reappears and asks me where to save the file. This only happens when I try to save it as a .docx file, any other format works just fine. I have tried pasting the contents into a new file, but the same happens.I really need the functionality from .docx though, since there are quite a few formulas in the file.The version I use is Word 2010.

I've had this happen to me as well. I tried copying and saving to a new file page by page and this worked. I'm not sure why.
