working without word workfile

[jimthevetrix]

I have seen the error in another group but it didn't answer the question.
So here is my question. "you are working without a word work file and memory
is nearly full. Save your work." Of course it won't let you save it and
usually locks you up. How can a word work file be created? I am using XP
Pro and Office Pro 2003. I have uninstalled Office Pro 2003 and reinstalled,
I have repaired, and now I'm lost as to what to do. I had a disk crash and
it didn't happen on my old drive so why on this new drive install? I am
stand alone not networked. Any suggestions?

I would also appreciate an answer to this one. I use XP Home 2002 SP2 and
Office Pro 2003. Have had to reinstall everything to a new hard drive. It was
working for a while but recently I haven't been able to save documents and
also get this "you are working without a word work file..." message as below.
Thanks.
