Killing "no undo" dialog box
Let me apologize in advance for posting a question here that is not a
document management issue. Don't know where to post it actually. When you are about to perform a task that Word 2003 cannot undo, it displays a dialog box that says something like, "MS Word low on memory. Cannot undo this command. Do you want to continue? Yes/No?" Does anyone know how to prevent this prompt from appearing? Background: I use Word 2003 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. When I select Adobe PDF-Convert to Adobe PDF, Word is tied up for a couple of hours because it takes that long to create a PDF: my manuals are very long, they have many graphics, and my computer is six years old. Typically, I run the Acrobat macro at 5 PM and go home, so that PDF generation will tie up my computer when I'm not using it. Recently, when I come to work in the morning, the PDF macro is interrupted by the 'no undo' dialog. I click YES and do paperwork until Acrobat is done. Although Word says that it is running out of memory, my computer has a GB of RAM. |

Killing "no undo" dialog box
Is it saying it's low on memory or resources?

Killing "no undo" dialog box
Hi Jose,
one way would be to get somehow to the code of the adobe-addin, and place application.displayalerts = false in there. If you really want it, you can make it. Easier said then done, sure. I'm not so fond of adobe-software. You might not need the add-in anyway. Just print to the Adobe PDF printer programmatically, an add application.displayalerts = false. Might help, might not help. I don't know. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Hi Helmut,
Thanks! Your suggestion, "displayalerts = false", is so far the best option for killing the dialog box, but it'll take me awhile to make it work. In the meanwhile, I'll work on some issues that might stop MS Word from thinking that it's running out of memory. Thanks!
