Can't get MS Org Chart 2004 for Mac to work

[timj]

Running Mac OS X 10.4.3. Using Word 2004 (11.2.1).
Trying to create an org chart using Organization Chart 2004 for Mac
version 11.0 (040322) in a new document. I go to Insert > Object: >
select Organization Chart > click OK and get

"There is insufficient memory. Save the document now." I have 512 MB of
memory with no other apps running.

So I click OK after getting the warning then notice the Organization
Chart icon in the Dock. But no new chart has been opened in Word.

I tried saving the document, but that didn't make any difference.

Even when I try to open past Word docs where I had successfully
embedded org charts using the Organization Chart utility (this was
prior to Tiger of course), I get the message that Word cannot edit the
Organization Chart.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Tim-

The first thing I would try is to exit from all applications & run Disk
Utility - Repair Disk Permissions. Then Log out/in, launch Word & try
again. If still the same problem, it could very well be that 512 MB
_isn't_ enough or that some of your RAM has gone bad... take a look at
System Profiler to make sure that the entire 512 is being recognized.
Tiger & Word, however, do eat up a great deal more than you might
think, as well as what may be accounted for by background applications,
fonts, etc.

CyberTaz,
It was definitely a memory thing. Followed your instructions. Still got
the memory error. So I got my head out of my backside and turned off my
fonts (via Font Book). Org Chart opened right up.

Looks like I've got some house cleaning to do, or RAM shopping.

Thanks for the help.
