874.0. "Memory problems with Word 7.0a" by SIGSR1::BEGLEY_M () Mon Apr 07 1997 13:38

    Word for Windows 95 V7.0a
    Celebris GL590, 24 Mb
    
    Two problems to do with memory:
    
    1. Working on a master document with many sub-documents and trying to
    compile a table of contents results in the "Insufficient memory" error.
    The complete document is about 400 pages long.
    
    2. Working on a document which contains a large number of screen dump
    graphics when I try and save the file after editing I get "Disk is
    full or too many files open" error. Have tried "Save As" and get same
    error. The existing size of the document is suspiciously close to
    32764Kb so I wonder if Microsoft have used a word counter somewhere. 
    
    Any suggestions?

Do you have any tools for looking at your swap file/virtual memory usage?
How much room is there on your TEMP disk.  If either of these goes full
then Win95 has trouble.

Windows95 has a built-in number of (I think) 60 files open.  You can add
a line into CONFIG.SYS like FILES=120 to get more open files.
