can not save file while in use by another process
I get the message can not save autorecovery file while in use by another
process. How can I fix this problem? It is a technical document with equations, inserted drawings in eps, excell and vision and pasted from the clipboard. I do not know what caused the problem |

If the message occurs when you are editing the Excel or Visio objects
then I've encountered this in the past too. What it means is Word is attempting to save the AutoRecovery file, a file that is only used should you encounter a crash, and it's unable to due because you are using other processes, such as editing the embedded objects. I don't know of any fixes for it. No harm is being done, so in a way it's not really a problem - except a bit of annoyance. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

The message occurs continously while the document is open in Word. Not when I
edit the Excell or Visio objects. "Beth Melton" wrote: If the message occurs when you are editing the Excel or Visio objects then I've encountered this in the past too.

I think it's still related - I think it also has to do with the temp
files that are created. What version of Word are you using? IIRC, this occurred more with Word 97 and Word 2000. In any event, like I said before, there isn't a fix for it - unfortunately is more of a nuisance than anything else. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I am using Word 2003. The problem seemed to be solved after I substituted a
inserted *.eps file with a *.tif file. Thanks for your assistance. "Beth Melton" wrote: I think it's still related - I think it also has to do with the temp files that are created.
