Mac Forum / Applications / Word / November 2005Can't get MS Org Chart 2004 for Mac to work
Running Mac OS X 10.4.3. Using Word 2004 (11.2.1). Trying to create an org chart using Organization Chart 2004 for Mac version 11.0 (040322) in a new document. I go to Insert > Object: > select Organization Chart > click OK and get "There is insufficient memory. Save the document now." I have 512 MB of memory with no other apps running. So I click OK after getting the warning then notice the Organization Chart icon in the Dock. But no new chart has been opened in Word. I tried saving the document, but that didn't make any difference. Even when I try to open past Word docs where I had successfully embedded org charts using the Organization Chart utility (this was prior to Tiger of course), I get the message that Word cannot edit the Organization Chart. Thanks for any help. Tim Hi Tim- The first thing I would try is to exit from all applications & run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions. Then Log out/in, launch Word & try again. If still the same problem, it could very well be that 512 MB _isn't_ enough or that some of your RAM has gone bad... take a look at System Profiler to make sure that the entire 512 is being recognized. Tiger & Word, however, do eat up a great deal more than you might think, as well as what may be accounted for by background applications, fonts, etc. HTH |:>) > Running Mac OS X 10.4.3.

Followed your instructions. Still got the memory error. So I got my head out of my backside and turned off my fonts (via Font Book). Org Chart opened right up. Looks like I've got some house cleaning to do, or RAM shopping. Thanks for the help. Tim > Hi Tim- > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > > > Tim Good Work- Glad I could help! Regards |:>) Tim: Before going out and spending cash money, try a reboot! We seem to have some memory leaks happening in various bits of software at the moment (not all of them made by Microsoft...) that are causing OS X to fail to release memory as it should. I agree with Cyber, you'll get better performance with 1GB of memory in OS X than 512, but 512 will work, provided you reboot at least once a week to force system house-keeping to occur. Note that each font you have active gobbles 60-1,000 kb of memory, so when memory gets tight, having fewer fonts loaded is goodness :-) Cheers On 10/11/05 5:09 AM, in article 1131559771.227460.303870@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, "timj" <mactopia@erange.net> wrote: > CyberTaz, > It was definitely a memory thing.
