You are working without a word work file.....

[Adam]

On one particular machine we are having a problem with editing a word
document (only 118kb in size, mainly text with the school logo at the top).
When the document is opened the member of staff starts to edit it and all of
the sudden word freezes with the following error:

You are working without a word work file and memory is nearly full. Save
your work.

I've googled and found an article about making a registry change

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\11.0\Options

Added a DWORD called CACHESIZE with a decimal value of 512.

This doesn't appeared to have solved the problem and I would like to avoid
re-installing office or ghosting the machine if possible.

Has anybody else seen this?

I have the exact same problem, cant figure it out.

Is the document being opened from removable media?

If it is only one particular document, then it maybe that the document is
corrupt.

It's not being opened from removable media, from a network share. I'm going
with the theory of a corrupt document also.
