Message: [QUOTE="Guest, post: 6807449"] Word has no "Autosave", but even if it did, what bearing would that have on Excel? Any program can be hamstrung by external influences which interfere with the processes they call for, and memory mgmt is handled by the OS. I'm just trying to understand the relevance of this reply... Can you be more fully expressive of your thoughts? Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac 2008 > Word.

The autosave I was referring to is the usual AutoRecover saving that the Word program performs. Since the problem has only come to light with the installation of a new Office 2008, my suspicion was that there is a connection between all of the Office components and how they are designed to use memory. Perhaps I do not understand the design of microsoft products, but the connection between Excel and Word that suggests itself would be a logical consequence of the tight integration. Perhaps this is not logical, but then, it appears to be a rather strong coincidence that peculiar (and totally baseless) out of memory errors are coming up with different parts of the new Office 2008 package.
