This article was previously published under Q144961 SYMPTOMS
When you click AutoText on the Edit menu, you may receive the following
error message:
There is not enough memory to complete the operation.
This error message is also displayed when you attempt to copy AutoText
entries from one template to another using the Organizer.
Although you cannot insert AutoText entries via the AutoText command on the
Edit menu, you can insert them using the keyboard shortcut:
COMMAND+OPTION+V.
CAUSE
This error message may occur when you have a large number of AutoText
entries stored in the active template. As a result, you are running low on
available memory. The number of AutoText entries is limited by available
memory.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, store your AutoText entries in separate
templates, and add each template to the Global Templates and Add-in list
(File menu). When you need to use the AutoText entries, click Templates on
the File menu, select the templates that contain the AutoText entries, and
click OK.
While these templates are available globally, you cannot insert AutoText
entries via the Edit menu, but you can use the keyboard shortcut. To edit
the AutoText entries, open the template that contains the AutoText entry
you want to edit.
