Mac Forum / Applications / Word / March 2008Word work file
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: intel I recently installed the latest Office 2004 update 11.4.1. The first time I tried to start Word and load a recent, small document I received the following error message: "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk." I clicked Ok to continue. Then the following error mssg displayed: "You are working without a Word work file and memory is nearly full. Save your work." There is approx 45 gb of available disk space on my computer and 2gb ram - no other applications were running at the time and That message is a bit misleading - In this case it means Word doesn't have write capability to create the temporary files, which is most likely a permissions issue. Try running Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions, then restart your Mac & see if the problem persist.

I tried repairing the disk permissions and restarting and that still didn't work. Any other thoughts?

In order to get anywhere we'll need to know : Specific Word version, OS X version, & type of Mac.
