Thanks to both Dian and Robert. Your suggestions were very appropriate and I thought surely they were the answer. I went to the KB Q2204059 re error message: "The disk is full. Free some space on this drive, or save the document to another drive. Try one of the following; Close any unneeded documents, programs, and windows. Save the document to another disk." Tried its suggestion about clearing temp files. I was suprised. I had over 190 files in my Windows Temp Internet folder. I hadn't checked this lately--been running History Kill that is supposed to purge temporary and cookie files. Some reason it's not working. Anyway followed the KB suggestions for clearing Temp files and ran scan disk and defrag. NO HELP. Robert's suggestion about a corrupted file is probably the closest. I tried copying the file to another location, then deleting original. No help either. Neither the copy nor the restored file made any differences. I give up. Will try to rebuild the file, piece by piece. Maybe I will find the corrupted portion. Thanks again for your expert help. It's been informative. Pete __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
