Org Chart Insufficient Memory Error

[davidagarrison]

I'm running Office 2004 on a Macbook Pro 2.33 C2D with 2gigs of memory.
When I try to insert an organization chart, I get an insufficient
memory error that prevents org chart from opening properly. After
checking Activity Monitor and attempting this after a fresh boot, I
have over 1.5 gigs of RAM free and still get the error.

I have been unable to find any helpful information on Microsoft's
website, or on the general internet. Any help provided would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi David:

"Insufficient memory" is highly misleading. What it really means is "I
can't find the thing I need, which should be in memory by now."

Usually, the reason it's not in memory is because the document is munged or
the installation is munged or the Normal template is munged.

Begin by re-naming Normal template, create a new blank document, then try
again with the new document. If that doesn't fix it, see here:

Cheers

Hi,
this happens for me in the 90's PC word. This meant that somewhere in the
document is some corrupted item. Usually deleting some table or chart was
the solution.
I would make a copy and try deleting items in there to see which item it is
and then delete this item in the origanal and replace it by new "clean"
item.

John thanks for new word - munged, newer seen it,not even find it in
translation dictionary. So hope I have got the right meaning.

Actually, it's a completely fresh, clean document. I'll try renaming Normal
and go from there...

Thanks,
David

No problem I'd like learning new things especially these which are not
on pragramme at school. Thanks I have found that link as well but I
wanted to make sure I've got the right meaning before I will start using it.
Elliott's giving me linguistic lessons all the time!

Be careful, LC, or you will end up, linguistically, being an Australian!
