Disk is full word mac

We're not sure that it isn't a different bug in Word but the fact is that you can still occasionally get "Disk Full" errors in this version. Removed outdated link to http: The error is caused by having too many temporary files open, which is in turn caused by Word trying to maintain the stack or list of Undo actions available.

Workaround 1 explains how to avoid the error when working with a particular type of document layout. Workaround 2 applies regardless of the type of document: It wipes out the temporary files and, consequently, the stack of Undo actions so that Word is able to perform the save without error.

As stated above, this error occurs less frequently in Word Microsoft raised the limit on open files in Word , and put in a work-around that automatically senses the problem and offers to clear the Undo Stack for you. So it is rare that you will see the problem in Word , and if you do, the fixes described here won't work. Since this is a laptop, it is closed at night when such maintenance scripts are usually set to run.

In another discussion on this same topic, someone recommended "fixing the volume permissions".

Nope, I'm not using it. Wreaking about a half hour of work I'm in Word.

For example, I can open a terminal window, and with the VI text editor create a file several megs in size and save it fine.

Is anyone else an avid user of MS Word that is not seeing this?!? The sooner users report bugs, the sooner bugs get fixed.

I'm not sure. I'm at wits end here. I just lost a bunch of work.

The issue here is the document I'm working on is 66 pages of rather intense embedded graphics, excel worksheets, and text boxes on every single page.
