SYMPTOMS
========
You may receive one of the following error messages when trying to save, open,
or close a document in Word, or while performing other Windows functions while
Word is running:
The disk is full trying to write to <drive>. Free some space on this
drive, or save the document on another disk.
-or-
The disk is full or too many files are open.
-or-
Saving the AutoRecovery file is postponed for <file name>.
CAUSE
=====
When you add a large number of styles to a document (or to several documents),
the Word temporary scratch file, ~Wrs0001.tmp may become extremely large.
Closing the original document has no effect on the scratch file.
These error messages may occur if the ~Wrs0001.tmp file becomes too large,
causing your computer to run out of disk space.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, quit and restart Microsoft Word. Quitting Word will
remove the scratch file.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
