Solve : Word save failure?

Answer»

Word now comes up with an error message when I try to save a particular .doc that I am working on. The message says that the .doc cannot be saved and suggests it may be because the disk is full (not so) and I should stop other programs (the problem is still there when nothing else is running). The problem is still there when I reboot. The proble is still there when I try 'save as' with a different name. I also get the message that Autorecovery has been DELAYED for that .docClick on first link in my signature.Broni
I expect that you are referring to the fact that I did not give details of my system. It is windows 98SE and Word 2000.The error message was:
Microsoft Word
The disk is full or too many files are open
(C:\.................doc)

I tried again after a reboot. I was able to 'save' the file concerned. Then I 'cut' a chart that had been copied from Excel. The error message then came up again and the 'save' failed. I was directed to the note in NOTEPAD copied below. It seems the problem originated with cutting the chart.

Probably, it doesn't matter, but how big is your hard drive, and how much free space is left?
Most likely, there are other reasons for your problem.
As for Word:

This error message indicates the embedding information for some of the graphics in your Microsoft Word document has been corrupted.

As for Excel, your error indicates some invalid links included in the file. More info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224041Problem solved, thanks to Broni. As advised in Method 1, I saved as in Rich Text format with a new name , closed, then opened, and saved as a Word Document with a new name. The only problem is that I was unable to delete or rename the corrupted file. I got an access denied message when I tried to do this.I'm glad, it worked
As for deleting stubborn file, get MoveOnBoot: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/MoveOnBoot.shtml
It'll allow you to delete file upon reboot.
