insufficient memory or disk space

[Frenchy]

When i try to copy and paste information from the internet it says error,
insufficient memory or disk space. I've done this many times and never had a
problem until now. It is only a 2 page letter i'm trying to save. I have
plenty of hard drive available and i have 256 RAM but it says 36 RAM
available.

Are you trying to copy/paste when you see the message? Or are you trying to
save? Version of Word? What are you copying from the Internet, more exactly?

Cindy,
What i do is copy and paste my bank statement onto microsoft word then save
it in a folder on my hard drive. I've done this many times but it just
started giving me this error message. I tried copying and pasting an airline
reservation and it worked fine so i just can't figure it out. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

I'm using word 2002 and it gives me the message before it even pastes the
information so i don't even have the chance to try and save it.

Instead of copying and pasting from a Web page, try saving the page using
File | Save As | Web page, complete.

 

[Frenchy]

I need to be able to read the file without an internet connection because i
travel a lot on the water with a laptop and don't always have an internet
connection.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If you save the file as "Web page, complete," it will be stored on your
computer.

Suzanne's suggestion is a good one, but here are my thoughts on the problem
you're experiencing...

Word shows this message when it runs out of space in the files it uses to track
you're editing changes. This has nothing to do with the actual amount of RAM or
free hard-drive space; it's an internal thing.

What you can try doing is closing all applications, then cleaning up your TEMP
folder, and any files laying around that begin with ~ or end with .tmp.
(Especially where you save your documents).

All this time i thought it was because of my ram and i was considering going
out and buying a bigger memory. I clean out my cookies and temp internet
files on a regular basis but are you saying go into search and look for any
file that has ~ or .tmp and then delete those files?

Besides doing what you said is there anything else i can do to correct this
problem. I'm at wits end and can't figure out what to do to correct this.

What is the difference between saving as "web page complete (htm)" and saving
as "web page single file (mht)"? --Thanks, Ann Fennell

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

"Web page, complete," saves the text in an .htm file and the graphics as
separate files in the same folder or a subfolder. "Web page, single file"
saves the entire page in a single file. The first version, which extracts
the graphics, represents the way the page actually exists on the Web and can
be more convenient if you want to be able to use the graphics files in other
documents.

So what is happening is that Word is failing to clean up after itself as it
goes along and leaves trash everywhere?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

My mom used to ask the same thing about me when I was a teenager.

 

[Anna Summers]

LOL, I hear that, JoAnn. Problem is, Word is not a teenager any longer, its
been around enough years to have been taught better habits. Shame on
Microsoft!

You would think I am old enough too however it seems that some habits carry
over into our "mature years". (Yes, I am older than Word. But not older than
"The Word" or wood or dirt or any other substance that some people may
suggest.)

Well i've tried everything ya'll have suggested with no results. It's wierd
that i can copy and paste some things but i just can't do it with my bank
statement the way i used too and it just started doing this. There has to be
something i'm missing or some small thing i can do to fix this. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, Word does clean up after itself. But if it crashes, then things do
get left behind. At least, I never see anything (when Word isn't loaded)
that's left over unless Word has crashed.

(And, before you get on about that <g>, crashes I've experienced with Word
2003 usually it come from testing code and trying out "dumb" things )

However, Word has little or no control over the contents of the Windows TEMP
folder. Windows tends to let things accumulate here and it's useful to
occasionally go in there and just delete the whole lot.

It's quite possible that the BANK has changed the coding to display the page,
and it may be something Word internal converter can't properly interpret.
