MS Word 2010
 

Have not found a group for Word 2010

My wife is using MS Word 2010 on her Win10 machine with 16 gig of RAM


If she tries to cut and paste several pages of text she is getting an
"out of memory" error.

If I check the app while running it is using under 100 megs of memory.

All MS help answers are absurdly irrelevant to so solving this.

She is simply limiting how much she will cut and paste at a time but
this really seems ridiculous...as she is only trying to cut and paste
perhaps three or four pages .

As soon as I posted my wife informed me the problem only arose after
installing a 3rd party plug-in called Pro Writing Aid.

I will have her contact the vendor.

I have same spec of PC, and with Office 2010. With a 13.5Mb document
(a mix of text and pictures) open Word is using 18.5Mb of memory (as
reported by Task Manager).
How big is her document?

It's a 300 page book but the problem is evidently with the plug-in

She is an extremely fast worker and I saw her cutting and pasting in a
fraction of a second.

Once she slowed down just a tad it looks all OK now.

He asked for *file size* not how many pages!

How often does the docx get saved during the copy/paste actions?

Does the docx contain pics? If so, what size are they and how are they placed
on pages?

Is what she's cutting and pasting from a web site? If so, it's
possible that there is a lot of hidden content within the text
included to ensure that nobody copies the content without
authorization.

That's why I set up my software of choice, LibreOffice, to paste as
plaintext no matter what the content is.

To give more info, she is not cutting and pasting from a website, the
document is about 200k in size and text only.

Though by taking a second between a cut and a paste has mostly solved
the problem , it is not completely solved.

She has it set to autosave every three minutes and and crash has been
saved to a .doc only readable from Google documents.

She has lost no work but it is a minor annoyance for her.

Over the years I have lost count of the number of times I have cut and
pasted far larger amounts in many versions of Word including 10. That
includes within Word, from a pdf, from a website, etc.

I doubt the problem lies with Word 10, more likely something system related.

And the plug-in was not responsible for the crash? I was actually
hoping that it was due to an external factor.

The machine has 16 gigs of RAM and has never once crashed until she
added the plug-in.


That said, her workday is sometimes 12 hours long.

What she did today was save all... close down, then re-open every 2 or 3
hours.

No problems today since she has done that.

My guess is just too much stuff in the cache.

That wouldn't surprise me. Considering how slow Windows gets when a
user doesn't regularly clean the system disk with the Disk Cleanup
option, there's a strong possibility that you are correct.

Where did you get this stupid idea from? what has systems disk got to
do with what the OP is complaining about. My disk is nearly 90% full
and I run all Office products (and all Adobe products and Visual studio
since 2010 and other utilities - they are all installed but I may never
use them for months until I want to test something) but I haven't seen
anything like what the OP is complaining about. Disk clutter has
nothing to do with this.
