Subject:Help! - Save Problem in Word97 From:GeriLou Ciotoli <GeriLou_Ciotoli -at- DLCORP -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 24 Jul 1997 19:20:17 GMT
Help,
I'm working in Word 97 on Windows 95. I have a document 59 pages long. The
text is complete and I was inserting links to CorelDraw5 graphics. I was
saving frequently since we are having a thunderstorm.
My problem: Now I cannot save this document at all. Luckily I have it saved
up to this point. But now when I open the document, I just tried to save it
and it won't save at all.
The message is:
The disk is full trying to write to C::Free some space on this drive or save
the document
on another disk. Try closing some files/apps, etc. etc.
I have no other docs/apps open. And I have over 1.5 gigs of disk space.
Has anyone experienced this problem. I know that some people have been
complaining about long documents in Word ( but I don't consider 60 pages
long!)
I couldn't access the archives, so sorry if this problem is repetitive. You
can email me off line at mailto:gciotoli -at- dlcorp -dot- com
Thanks
