Linking Word & Excel Files

[Janelle]

Recently while trying to link excel and word documents (as
this office has done in the past without problems) I am
getting a message saying the disk is too full and to try
and free some space.

I have removed a large number of files from the computer,
however I am still receiving the same message. I try to
save and the computer doesnt let me therefore I am losing
alot of information each day when the time comes to
shutdown.

My computer is the administrator in a network of 3
computers. I am using both Word & Excel 97.
Can anybody advise me on how I can prevent this problem in
the future?

I have asked microsoft support and they explained Excel 97
have been superseded and is now classed as obsolete.

Cheers
Janelle

Hi Janelle,

I'd guess that you may have a lot of TEMP files cluttering up
the TEMP and Windows folders where the documents are stored.
Delete what you can out of TEMP. Then search your system for
*.tmp and ~*.* files; delete what you find. (Make sure Office
apps are closed, BTW.)
