Geni,
PSPP for windows has a problem when the filename or the path has
extended characters (which would be natural for non-English speakers).
The developers have made some fixes but the simplest solution would be
if you could avoid such characters. I would also avoid spaces. So,
hopefully you can change the folder on Z: to something without accents
or spaces.
If you can do this, Harry would like to know if that solves your problem.

Harry,
Is this the non-ASCII characters problem? I attached the
screenshot as a
JPG.

I guess yes. As the users is using a .docx file it is most likely a
MSWindows user and there are non-ascii charachters in the filename.
Unfortunately the file OS and the PSPP version is not mentioned in
the bug report.
Upgrading to the MSWindows build of today should fix this. However in
that case the file can be saved, but it is not clear whether the
file, with that name, can be opened again. Many the filename and the
path should be changed so there is no non-ascii character in the name
before it can be opened.
Report whether this works or not are welcome. It seems what happens
is not always the same as on my test system. Maybe some specific
locale settings.
Have fun
I often have empty spaces in file names and up to now it never produced
any difficulties.
I use the latest version of the windows version.

ftr
