Memory error with table autoformat
When I try to use table autoformat, I get the ridiculous error message that
there is insufficient memory, even in a small blank table with only Word loaded. I have 1 024Mb RAM and 37Gb available disk space. I use Windows XP Professional with Office 2003, on an HP Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz notebook. |

Memory error with table autoformat
Hi ?B?RFIgU2FtdWVs?=,
When I try to use table autoformat, I get the ridiculous error message that there is insufficient memory, even in a small blank table with only Word loaded. I have 1 024Mb RAM and 37Gb available disk space. I use Windows XP Professional with Office 2003, on an HP Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz notebook. this message usually means Word is running out of file space for writing "scratch" files. Like where it's saving information for the Undo list. This tends to happen most often when formatting tables, as that's a very complex operation. Close Word and restart Windows. Go to your profile's TEMP folder and delete stuff there. Also delete all files you find in the folder where that document is saved that start with a ~ or end in tmp. Now start Word, open the document and try again.

Cindy
Please be more specific about where to find "my profile's TEMP folder" and the "stuff" I shouuld delete there. I doubt whether your suggestion will solve my problem: The error occurs even with a new 3 column x 3 row blank table with nothing in the Undo list and no other programs loaded.

Hi ?B?RFIgU2FtdWVs?=,
Please be more specific about where to find "my profile's TEMP folder" and the "stuff" I shouuld delete there. C:\Documents and Settings\[Your login name here]\Local Settings\Temp is the installation default. Delete everything in here that Windows will let you delete (make sure no applications are running) I doubt whether your suggestion will solve my problem: The error occurs even with a new 3 column x 3 row blank table with nothing in the Undo list and no other programs loaded.
