Save As PDF > "not a valid short file name..."


we're having strange error (i hate bug) in word 2010 when trying create pdfs new templates

when selecting file > save as , choosing pdf we error "'long file name.pdf' not valid short file name.

obviously true, not expected. 
(incidentally 8 char name works)

if take same file , select file > save & send > create pdf document > create pdf we appears same save dialog.  this time "long file name.pdf" accepted valid file name , cushty...

i thought 2 options above 2 ways of getting same dialog why 1 work , other not...

hi,

can save same file choose other file format?
can save file when type filename manually?

create new blank document, , save pdf, type filename manually.

if problem not appears, may check template , filename. helpful if can provide filename or screen short.

please test in other office applications, such excel, if excel cannot save either, please repair office 2010.

best regards.
