Word is suddenly really slow to save

[ClaireT]

As of today, when I try to save a document in Word, it is reaaaaallllly slow. I am not working on any particularly large documents - around 20 pages. Normally, if I hit 'save', the save is instantaneous, but today it is taking 5-10 seconds, and I just have to wait. This is frustrating in itself, plus sometimes I have to work on documents ten times as long, so it will become ridiculous.
I have tried rebooting, but it didn't make any difference. There is nothing unusual going on on my computer otherwise.
Can anyone help?
