I can only make changes or add/save styles to a .style file only if I'm doing changes in a blank MXD.
I can't make changes or add/save a new style in an existing MXD.

The "Save As..." button is greyed out all the time, no matter what style/symbol properties window I am using.
If I open a blank MXD, add a layer, then change the symbol properties, I can save it fine.

My users style file is the default one at:
C:\Users\user01\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcMap\user01.style


Not sure why I can't add/edit symbols to an existing style when using an existing mxd, always have to make changes in a blank mxd.
