I have been developing and editing an 800-900 page
document (medical handbook) for almost an entire year. I
am in the final editing stages and am attempting to
generate the "Table of Contents". Word will not allow me
to create the TOC and gives me an error message. I
believe that over the last year, I have made so many
changes to the document, and Word has kept track of all
those changes, that it is out of memory. (Each day, I get
many messages telling me that I will not be able to undo a
change because there is not any memory left. My
question: Is there a way to clear the Word memory of all
previous changes? I do have the track changes turned off,
but it was on for most of the year. It is almost
impossible to do any editing. Any and all suggestions
will be appreciated.

Hi Karen
Remove tracked changes by 'accepting changes'. Take a copy of your document
first. (If you are working on a large document like this, you should be
keeping regular copies anyway, just in case you have a major problem and
have to back track.)
