I tried every one of the suggested fixes that I have read on-line - nothing worked.  I then accidentally switched off my laptop (on this machine the off-button is next to the delete-button).  When I restarted the laptop and reopended Word, there were 2 previous (repaired) versions of the large Word document listed in the recovery pane.  One was timed/dated as my most recent edit and I selected that one.  It opened and was the last version (that I had been unable to save, after repeated attempts, due to the "network unavailable" message).  I saved that version with a new name into the "Documents" top-level folder - not the original folder - and it was saved correctly.  I have re-opened it and it is the correct last version.  I have copied that document to its original folder from the "Documents" folder and opened the copied document, which is also the correct last version.
