rhodana New User Registered: 06/11/09 Posts: 3	All of a sudden, when I try to open a file in word or excel I get the message "Not enough memory". What is going on? HELP, I have a lot of files I need to open. Thanks, Ron

What is the hard drive capacity and how much free space does it have? Which specific Mac are you using? How many apps are open when this happens and which apps are they? _________________________ Jon Mac Pro Quad 2.66 GHz, one 500 GB Hitachi HD, three 320 GB Hitachi HDs, 5 GB RAM, OS 10.5.7 Epson SP 1280, LaCie 80 GB FW drive, second internal DVD drive (Pioneer), Photoshop CS3, Office 2008, Nikon LS 8000 scanner Apple 23" Cinema Display

Mr. Gregg MacAuthor Registered: 07/31/99 Posts: 1175	When you open Activity Monitor, how much is shown on the "%Idle" line? Can you open other files that are not created by Word or Excel?

Please see this document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958267 The older versions of Office 2008 had this problem and new update 12.1.3 dealt with this issue. Hope it helps. P.S. Mac OS update to 10.5.7 wouldn't hurt either. Edited by macnerd10 (07/02/09 06:28 PM) _________________________ Alex 2.66 GHz 17" MacBook Pro, 4 GB RAM, OS 10.5.7, Office 2008, TimeWarner Cable
