Text disappears in Word 2000

Can anyone help?
I am running Win 98 SE and Office 2000 w/SP3 installed.
If I type something and highlight it and then try to
change the font, I get an error message something like:
"There is insufficient memory or disk space; Word cannot
make the requested font change." Then I click Ok to close
the error pop-up and then my text disappears. I have
tried to run repair and reinstall but this keeps on
happening. I have 128MB of RAM installed and when this
happens I don't have any other programs running. OOh
yeah, I also have plenty of unused disk space - @12G.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

This is a problem in Word when you have automatic backups selected and you are working on a large document or one that's been edited many times. Try turning off Save backups in Word, Tools, Options, Save tab. Uncheck "Allow fast saves" & "Always create backup copies."
