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. |

Does the docx contain pics? If so, what size are they and how are they placed on pages? -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

If she tries to cut and paste several pages of text she is getting an "out of memory" error. Check out https://www.freeoffice.com/en/ made and supported by a very reliable German company.
