Not enough disk space?

Goodday Forum Users:

I have a question regarding Microsoft Word Processor .wps on Vista.

I am in the process of writing a term paper for my university course and for about three times in the past week when I have added additional text data and attempt to save it, I get a message telling me there is not enough disk space. (I have 190 Gb unused out of a total of 288 Gb.) This is then followed by a message telling me that Vista will have to convert the file. I get this message as well when I attempt to reload the file from my external HD. I can retrieve the data by loading it from another folder. (I save all the data entered for the day, and more frequently if I'm adding a considerable amount of data, in two separate folders under different names for just such a contingency, but I lose the last day's data.) Once I have reloaded the file from the second folder I can go ahead and add data and save it, but this only seems to work for a couple of days and then I get the same message again and have to repeat the procedure. It's a real pain in the gluteous maximus.

Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Powell Lucas

Hi Powell.

I hope that you are not disappointed that this reply is not an answer.

Although I have never experienced your problem (been using MS Office for years, producing small/large docs no problem), I would be very interested in any answers that arise from your post. It is an unusual problem that requires a solution.

I suspect that your thread may be transferred to the software section of Vista Forums.

Good luck on this.
