Hi Ann,

If you go to Options->Preferences... on page Editor / Save and toy select Validate document before saving, a dialog like the one below will appear when a document is saved and it contains validation errors. The user can still choose to save it, but it is an informed decision and he probably wont save if the company policy is to fix validation problems before saving.
