FYI Re: OSX 9.1 & MS Office (esp. Word)

EDIT:
OSX is 10.9.1 (not 9.1 like in the title).

I'm just posting this in case there is anybody out there having the same trouble I had.

I finally bit the bullet and installed MS Office on my MBP, because I use it for work and I was just having to many crashes and setbacks on their Windows computer.

At any rate, I kept getting this message after Word had been opened for about 4 hours or so:



After clicking OK on that this one would immediately follow:



I did some research, some on this site and here's what I found that worked for me:
Open Disk Utility and repair permissions on Mac HD. After that was done, I never saw the messages again. Just an FYI in case anyone is experiencing the same problem...

The "disk full" error has been a fairly rare problem in Word/Mac, but it has existed for several versions of Word. Despite the specificity of the error message, it is actually a fairly generic message that can mean a number of things. Usually the problem occurs when a document has too many embedded objects, such as graphics or equations.

One of the most common, and simple, ways to fix the problem is to use File --> Save As to save your files in the ".docx" format rather than the older ".doc" format.

Thank you Harry!

The truth is that I had a lot of work to do, and dropping in here and answering a few questions was a good way to avoid doing it!

It was nice to stop in and see you.

Ahh well mate you lawyers keep the nose to the grindstone, the back to the wheel and shoulder to the grindstone. Personally do not know how anyone works in that position!!

I often wonder myself.

Using a Macintosh makes things quite a bit easier! As does, believe it or not, Microsoft Word. (See how I brought this back on topic?) Word has lots of features that make writing briefs (essentially term papers that are due every week or so) faster and less of a drudge.

I highly recommend that all Word users take an online course on how to master the program.
