     ^^^^^^^^^^^
  I have seen that statement several other times as well.  One occasion
  was when I was changing printers (from my Fax Printer back to my
  regular printer).  I have not quite gotten the file name written down,
  but it is something like that.
 BD> So I take it you are running OS/2?  What version?  How big is your
 BD> swapfile?   How much memory?  Have you configured it do things like 
 BD> dos=high to give you more conventional memory for windows?
 I am running OS/2 Warp version 3.0, at FP26.
 Swap file is 40 meg. (but if needed OS/2 would grow it).
 Memory is 20 meg.
 DOS=HIGH, yes.
 BD> Are you running tight on disk space?
 Don't think so.
 80 meg free on the C: drive, where Windows is installed.
 130 meg free on the D: drive, where MSOFFICE is installed.
 260 meg free on the E: drive where the swap file is.
 C& D are FAT.  E: is HPFS.
 BD> I'm getting the sense that you are running low on resources 
 BD> (memory or swapfile space) somewhere.
 Don't know what it might be?
 BD> Did you have any other windows programs open when this happened?
 Not usually.  I tend to open windows, run word, and then close windows.
 Sometimes I treat my self to a game of FREECELL just for having to have
 gone into windows, but don't tend to run both.  There may be other
 programs running in the OS/2 environment -- but not under windows.
 I think the main clue would be what is that *.TMP file supposed to be,
 and why can't it find it when it needs to.
