Word Work File - Memory nearly full

J

John

when working with Word I keep receiving a message which
says 'you are working without a word work file and memory
is nearly full' Word locks up and I have to restart the
PC. The PC is a new high spec dell with lots of memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,

It could be that your Temp folder is full. When is the last time you
cleared your Temp folder and/or searched for all *.tmp files and
deleted them?

For more information on this and a full cleanup/maintenance procedure
that should be run periodically, see this article:

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
