Default insufficient memory or disk space in Word 2010

Hi,
I downloaded latest Brother printer drivers, and tried printing again.
I had limited success, in that I have to delete normal.dot before every printing, but at least printing seems to work within Word 2010.


Still that's quicker than having to save to pdf file & printing that.
Thanks for your help. Sid

Possible solution (without getting too far ahead of myself)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/921541
regedit
Word 2010: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\W ord\Data
Click Data folder, and then click Export on the File menu.
Name the file Wddata?.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.
Exit Registry Editor.
---
I have printed a page 4 times so far, and no errors thus far. Fingers crossed!

Default insufficient memory or disk space

Re the error message
"There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font."
I finally how found a way to fix problem, albeit temporarily, without having to reboot, repair Word and various other suggestions.
After deleting normal.dot... if I then run "Smart Defrag 5" then click "Smart Optimize" the error then goes away, for a while, but at least I can print Word Docs now, which is a relief.
If I could fix problem without having to run "Smart Defrag 5" a couple of times a day, that would be even better.

The only time my fix fails, is sometimes printing a doc causes MS Word 10 to crash (instead of the pesky error). In this instance, I have to reboot, delete normal.dot, then run Smart Defrag 5, then printing doc works.

There is evidently something wrong with your system.
Try repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair).

Also try cleaning out the Temp folder (again), as per: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...ory-error.html

Other possible causes are a rogue third-party addin (if the problem goes away when running Word in safe mode, that's a fair bet) and a corrupt template - which would impact all documents created from it.

Default Ongoing Word 2010 problem

MS Word 2010 keeps failing to print documents, coming up with error message:
"Now printing body".... then
"There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font."
I get no errors printing xls, pdf, txt only word docs... and this never happened in Word 2003.
I also tried Disk Clean-Up to delete Temp folder and didn't help.
It fails regardless of docx or old doc format.

I have deleted normal.dot (many times). Deleting this works, but whenever I print another doc later, I get same error... meaning I have to delete normal.dot every time which is tiresome.
I bought a new PC with 8GB RAM, 1 TB, 64-bit. But after a couple of days, I got the above errors again.

One odd thing is when it does print ok, at bottom it says "0 pages completed"... instead of 1.
Any suggestions?

We've been through all of this before. Did you actually navigate to the folder as suggested and delete files as suggested? None of what you've posted to date suggests you ever did so.

Deleting Normal.dotm is pointless, as Word recreates it upon re-starting if it's missing.

If none of the normal methods of dealing with such problems, including repairing the Office installation, resolves the issues, you may need to do a fresh install of Win 10 - as previously mentioned - and all your apps. Do back up your data first, though, as a fresh install of Win 10 will erase all your files & settings.

Default Ongoing Word 2010 problem

Fair go, I did most of the suggestions, just not all. And just because I didn't list all I have done, it didn't mean I didn't do them.

eg I already have done Office installation Repair - it didn't fix problem at all.

I mentioned deleting Normal.dotm, because most suggest it... and it is only temporary fix.

No point in a fresh install of Win 10, because I had problems soon after buying new PC.
So reinstalling would merely postpone the problem, even if it briefly fixes problem.

So that leaves Temp folder, with limited success.
I tried %temp%, and deleted as much as I could.
But there were still many files and folders still in temp folder, which I couldn't remove because message said "You'll need to provide admininstrator permission to delete this folder".
When I went to check my status in User Accounts, it said I was Administator.
So unable to delete much from temp folder. Any suggestions?
I then tried to print pages in 2 separate docs, which normally cause the error, but no error, for now.

You previously said you'd done a Win 10 upgrade over Win 7. Since the problem apparently persists after buying a new PC. The problem is almost certainly due to a corrupt document and/or a third-party addin you haven't told us about.

On my previous PC, I had Win 7, and Microsoft did a forced upgrade to Win 10 without my permission.
However this is not relevant now, because when I bought my new PC with Win 10 on it, I had the problem not long after.
I doubt it is a corrupt document, because I have the print error with all my documents.
Surely they can't all be corrupt, especially as I can read/edit all the docs.
And if corrupt, why does the print error disappear after deleting normal.dot?
Re "a third-party addin" - I can't recall adding any in, not deliberately - I'm not smart enough to even know how to add in third-party addin.
Do you mean "a third-party addin" to all my 100's of documents, or just one?

Can we go back to Temp folder?
Many files I couldn't remove because of "You'll need to provide admininstrator permission to delete this folder".
When I went to check my status in User Accounts, it said I was Administrator.
Any suggestions?

Add-Ins get added to systems willy-nilly by other software, without notice or permission. That you don't know about one does not mean that it is not there. Add-Ins in Microsoft Word


A new installation of Windows, Office or whatever does not mean that it is not broken.

Default Ongoing Word 2010 problem

Hi,
I went to your link, and disabled Add-Ins by running "winword.exe /a", and I still get the printing errors, so it seems it isn't a problem with add-ins.
Also I don't think it is a corrupt document because I have hundreds of documents, that have no problem opening and editing. And I never had this problem printing with Win 2003, with same documents.
When I got my new PC with new Win 10 system, no problems initially but after a couple of days, the print error started up again, so re-formatting won't fix, just postpone.

I looked at Temp folder, via %temp%.
But many files and folders I couldn't remove because of
"You'll need to provide admininstrator permission to delete this folder".
When I went to check my status in User Accounts, it clearly said I was Administrator.
I was able to delete each of the many sub-folders of Temp, 1 at a time, by
right-click/Properties, Security, Advanced, change from Read to Full Control.
Very slow... but I couldn't do same for Temp folder.
Any suggestions to delete all folders/files at same time?
If not, I'll just do each one at a time, and it will take some time.

That only makes it all the more likely that the problem documents are corrupt.

And did you close all applications before trying to delete the files there? There is no need to delete any sub-folders.

I found a short-cut to quickly delete all folders & files in Temp ie
-back out to local, then right-click on temp folder, then untick read-only.
So I will monitor my printer error now that Temp is empty.
I will also re-try winword.exe /a.
I will update you, either way
Thanks, Sid

Default Ongoing Word 2010 problem

Sorry Paul I missed your latest reply.
I don't understand your statement:
"That only makes it all the more likely that the problem documents are corrupt."
I have 100's of docs, all of which I can open and edit without any problem.
I also had no printing same docs in Word 2003.
Yet when I print them in Word 2010, I get consistant print error message.
Charles thought it was an Add-In problem, but I ran "winword.exe /a" & still the error.
That suggests the docs are fine, Word 2003 is fine (at least printing), but there is some bug in Word 2010, else all the docs which open/edit ok would print??

Anyway if all my docs are "corrupt", is there some way to mass-correct them?
