Copy/Paste from Paint to Word - There is a problem saving the file

[one2three]

Hey Guys



I'm wondering if you could perhaps assist me with an issue I have...

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit) with Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (32-bit).

The issue is that when I take a screenshot and paste it into Microsoft Word I receive an error message. I'm copying from Microsoft Paint (mspaint).

"There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.
If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is incompatible with the Microsoft Office or must be updated."

Have you guys seen this error message before and if so do you perhaps know how to fix it.

Thanks

Hi one2three

To solve this problem you should save the the paint image to your desktop. Remember where you saved the file on your desk top. Open word and select the image from its location using the insert picture/clipart tab. You should not receive any problems by doing this.
