THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO COMPLETE THIS OPERATION
I get this error when I try to make an annotation Permanent.
I am running windows XP
Office 2003
Have 1GB memory
63 percent of a 40GB hard drive empty
no other programs running.
Im trying to add notes to a map that was scanned in as a TIF file. Its about
2.58MB in size using pen and highlighter.
How can I Make this option work????

It wouldn't happen to be a B&W tif would it?

 

[EXP2000dkt]

its a black and white map that was scanned

It wouldn't happen to be a B&W tif would it?

 

[Bob I]

And are you attempting to "mash" color into it? If it is the black and
white file format it doesn't accept color. It would have to remain an
annotation.

 

[EXP2000dkt]

Not trying to add color using black pen to wright on map.
If i do a smaller map say 1.5MB it will pake it permanent.

 

[Bob I]

Humm, that sounds more like a resources issue. Are your temporary
folders cleaned out? I was going to see if I could find something about
it in the Microsoft KB but it is acting up and says unavailable for me
at the moment.

 

[EXP2000dkt]

I have cleaned everything I can think of.
temps
cookies
stopped all programs that are not needed for xp to run.
I searched the KB and found several questions just like mine but nobody had
an answer!
the map is an image 30x34 inches scanneed in as a tif. (2.58MB)
I have a 8.5x11 inch doc scanned in as a tif (2.55 MB) that I can make the
annotations permanent on. I have to get a map the is no more than 40KB to
save permanent. (i have about 263 maps and is the same on all)

 

[Bob I]

I think maybe right click on the file and then properties and see what
the file is. Something is different about the file type. Please know
that there are many different formats that are all tiff files.

 

[EXP2000dkt]

the only diffrence i can see is the file size.
there all 400 dpi and use compression; CCITT GROUP 4 fax

I just tried what you are attempting but with a 3.454 Meg G4 tif. Office
2003 MODI and 1 gb ram. And went like a champ. Please note that when you
"make annotations permanent" it's wanting to write to disk. Is the File
on "C", I actually did it on the desktop. And then tried write
protecting it and then it wanted to know where to put the copy when I
tried to make permanent.

 

[EXP2000dkt]

I just put the file on my desktop and write protected it and it asked for a
place to save it i said C: and it said THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO COMPLETE
THIS OPERATION.
I do not know what else to do.
Do you know of another program that i can use other than paint to modify
these maps?
thanks for you help on this!

 

[Bob I]

Not in Office, but you could try one of the 3rd party freeware graphics
image editors like Picasa or Irfanview.

Here is a possible cause.
You receive an "Out of memory" error message when you try to save a file
