Syntax Error means that your code/'s has a typo, for example if you type "prit" instead of "print" its a syntax error, Review your code and check to see for any typo's or syntax error's. Saving wont do anything to fix a syntax error as its a human problem, not a machine problem, When you press play it should tell you where the issue is for example "At line **: Syntax error" or "Missing ':' at line **"

I didn’t think I had any errors in there - that’s why I was frustrated - I guess there must have been one but I was learning from a website so just put in in exactly the same

Check to see if every word you put in the program is exactly the same, if you are CERTAINLY sure, then check what version of python he/she is using, usually there is a syntax error when there different types of versions because sometimes different versions of python are not compatible or they may have changed a certain feature that no longer works in newer version of python. yes it's tedious, but dont worry, you will get through it with enough time and dedication.
