Word 97 problem

[FleshEatingLoser]

I'm having problems with microsoft word, it says Not enough memory when i try to "Save AS" or print. I need to fix this so bad, I'm a script writer and director and am shooting in a month. I need to get this fixed fast, i need like 10 scripts printed like tomorrow, i have to do a read through with my cast thursday.

Can you cut and paste from word. If so cut and paste it into like notepad or another program and print from there

I can't the only thing big enough to handle it is WordPad, but theres a problem with that too. But i could just save it in a regular notepad file in like 4 parts Thanks for the idea.

Didn't work. It took all my text and alligned it to the left.

Hi

I encounter this problem quite often. In almost every instance MS Word or Excel is complaining about not enough memory, the c:\windows\temp directory is too full. Word can't handle the fact that the temp dir gets full. So just close all apps and delete all files in c:\windows\temp.

You'll notice a lot of zero lenght files in the temp dir but in fact hese aren't 0 bytes. Depending on the filesystem (FAT, FAT32 etc)) and the size of the partition, these zero lenght files can take up to 32 Kb per file.

cheers

Thanks,
It didn't help though.
Right now i'm trying to download some service files from micrsofts website, hopefully that will work.

Didn't help Word, but helps in other ways.

the only time i've seen an "out of memory" message on my win98se machine (256mb ram), was when i was using tmpgenc to join two large mpegs. i got around it by increasing my fixed size swapfile/pagefile from 512mb to 1024mb (min 1000mb, max 1024mb). obviously, the disk space has gotta be there beforehand...
