Cannot open more than 3 documents

[Guest]

When using word, I can open any three documents at the same time. If I try
to have open a fourth, Word crashes. I am using Word 2003, I have
reinstalled, and I have all the latest updates. I cannot figure out what to
do.

Hi Jake:

I would say you're out of space in your Windows Temp folder. Word has
nowhere it write its working files. See

It may also be that you don't have enough memory in the machine (but I doubt
it: generally that will give you an error, not a crash).

Hope this helps
