Office for mac 2011: "Document not saved", "autorecover has been disabled" and "Microsoft Excel was unable to mail your document" error messages on a sspecific document

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble saving and emailing a specific excel document. It is a document that enables macros and was sent to mee by my school secretary to add grades into (I am a lecturer). I opened it once, saved it in my computer but when I opened it again to add the grades, I was unable to save it and got the error message "Document not saved". After a while, another error message appeared, saying "An unexpected error occurred: Autorecover has been disabled for this ssession", and when I try to email the document using tthe excel option I get the "microsoft excel was unable to mail your doccument" message.

I tried saving the file with another name and in another location but the same occurred. I can copy the contents on a new workbook and save it, but this is not good because some of the formulas and links that the school secretary has added to the document are not copied.

Can someone help? I aam working on a MacBook Air with OS X 10.9.2 and I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, update version 10.4.1.

Many thanks for your help.
