WD97: Error Message: "There Are Too Many Edits in the Document"

ID: Q197413

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you open a Word document that contains an object and then attempt to move the object, the following error message may appear:

   There are too many edits in the document. This operation will
   be incomplete. Save your work.

This error message may appear even if you did no other editing prior to moving the object.

CAUSE

Word cannot move the object if you have insufficient disk space.

In Windows, this amount of space is determined by the available space in your temporary (TEMP) directory (you designate this directory using the SET TEMP statement).

RESOLUTION

Free some disk space (in Windows, free space on the drive that contains the TEMP directory).
