Trying to save; disk full question
Hello and a question please if I may?
I'm using Word 2000 on a large hard drive computer. Everything on the machine is working fine. I've been working with Word on documents with no problems all day, but the last document threw me a problem. After working up a document starting with a blank page and inserting an image from a file, some border work and a bit of text, when I went to "save as" in my documents folder, XP threw me a "trying to save to C, disk full, try another drive" window. I know the drive has plenty of room. I ended up losing the page after printing it out. XP absolutely would not let me save it. Can someone please bring me up to speed on what's causing this and possibly how I can avoid it in the future? Many thanks Dudley |

Does the document save if you delete the image, or if you delete
the borders? Dudley Henriques wrote: Hello and a question please if I may? I'm using Word 2000 on a large hard drive computer. Everything on the machine is working fine.

Trying to save; disk full question
Dudley: Couple of things. A corrupt graphic could cause this, but since we
don't know, and you want to be sure, I'd do a couple of things: 1. Clean up your hard drive. Temp files can make your PC report low disk space. http://www.officearticles.com/misc/h...hard_drive.htm 2. Troubleshoot Word. If you haven't customized it or anything, this is pretty painless (probably just rename normal.dot): http://www.officearticles.com/word/s...osoft_word.htm Next time this occurs, you can try copying and pasting the content into WordPad, saving it, and then quitting Word... ************ Anne Troy VBA Project Manager www.OfficeArticles.com "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ...

Thank you Anne;
I'm not really a whiz with the program but I think I understand what you mean about rebuilding normal.dot. I'll rename it and let Word rebuild on the reboot. I noticed after I posted that the temp and TIF folders were indeed pretty full. I cleaned up and tried doing the page again. It worked! Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for answering.
I lost the document when I closed Word, but after emptying the TIF and Temp folders I redid the document and it saved. Thanks again Dudley "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...
