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

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?

I'm using Word 2000, so this may not apply, but I started with Word for DOS. But with Word for
Windows, it's always been the case that when working on a long, complex document, frequent
saves are a must to prevent Word crashes. If I'm doing something truly esoteric, I save after
each successful step! alt f s is your friend!

Was there no control-s back then? Always, make back ups. I have had
saves go bad before.

Word 2000, Word for DOS, or any other version of Word, you should
always do frequent saves. And that's true whether it's a long complex
document or not.

Saves do not prevent Word crashes. What they prevent is your being
hurt by a problem of almost any type: Word crashes, Windows crashes,
hardware failures, power failures, user errors, malware attacks, etc.

And the same is true for any other word processor, not just Word. Even
if it's not a word processor, but some other type of program, if you
put work into a file, you should frequently save what you've done.

saves do not prevent damage caused by user error or malware attacks
because it will have saved the damage.

if you're having frequent hardware failures or power failures, then you
have a more serious problem to solve. fix the hardware and get a ups.

And the same is true for any other word processor, not just Word. Even
if it's not a word processor, but some other type of program, if you
put work into a file, you should frequently save what you've done.

there is a lot of software that is reliable, doesn't crash and doesn't
need frequent saves, as well as software that doesn't even offer the
option to save since it's done on a continual basis.

To be fair, Word saves automatically by default every five minutes.

Perhaps you didn't know that there is no point in having a 300 page in
one document when you can have chapters in different documents and have
a table of content in one and/or index in another. All separate
documents but linked by Word's wonderful content/index features. You
guys need to learn best practices but considering you are too old to
learn new tricks, I don't hold my breadth about this.

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.

A good idea but the problem seems to be that I had originally installed
the 32 bit version of Word.


Also: though it's true that she never had the problem prior to
installing the plug-in...it's also true that she has never done this
extensive amount of editing before.

I was probably wrong the have blamed the plug-in.

snip.


Back then MS advised everyone not to install the 64bit version.
