Publisher can't Save - Undo Problem?

[Frank Fandrick]

We have a PC with a 2 gig hard drive (C) and a 20 gig hard
drive (D). We installed Publisher on the bigger drive,
since C only had about 100 meg free. We are having a
problem trying to save to D, it tells us the drive is full
but there are 11 gig available. I am thinking that the
Undo support may be automatically saving the file to C as
changes are made and it gets filled up; when we try to save
Publisher to D it gets confused. We have the same error
message trying to save the 36K file to a blank 1.4 meg
floppy as A. We are running Publisher 2002 pretty much as
it came out of the box. I did apply a fix that was
actually a shared module supplied by Internet Explorer
(help fix the balooning file size problem that was so bad
in Publisher 2000 and still not totally fixed in the
shipped 2002). Anyone else having this problem or can
someone give me some troubleshooting advice?

I would suggest moving your temp files and/or swap file to the larger drive.
What OS are you running?

We have the same error
message trying to save the 36K file to a blank 1.4 meg
floppy as A.

This is very inadvisable. Always save to a local hard drive, then copy
across using Windows Explorer.

I removed the option to use AutoRecovery, which is why I

think it would not save to C. I also freed up a lot of
space and was able to save to the local hard drive-C . But
doing a copy/paste to a new 1.4 floppy still produces the
error message that the file (32K) is bigger than the
destination drive.

If there is a disk in the destination drive, the file is 32k, and there is
more than 32k of space on the disk, and you are copying using Windows
Explorer (not by using Save As in Publisher) you should not have problems.
If it causes problems, the problems are not with Publisher - they may be
with Windows or with your floppy drive
