Word files won't open-please help!

beachlou

Can anyone please help? I am having problems opening any word files. I really need access to them.

Every time I try & open one it says:

There is not enough memory or disk space to complete the operation
&
There is not enough memory or disk space to update the display

It opens up the file but there is no writing. Pictures and tables appear, but nothing else. What is worng with it? It has all my planning for teaching on there.

Is this with nothing else but Word running on the system? Reboot and try again just opening Word.

Everything else seems to be running fine. My pdf files are opening ok, it's just word. I'll give it a go. Fingers crossed.

Many thanks-it worked. I was beginning to panic! I think it was because the computer wasn't shut down properly before.
