WD97: File "Being Edited by Another Word Session" Err Msg Truncated (184945)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q184945 SYMPTOMS
The error message
<File name> was being edited by another Word session. If you save this
document with the original name, you will overwrite any changes made in
the other session.
Do you want to save the document using the original name anyway?
may appear truncated (shortened).
CAUSE
Error messages are limited to 255 characters.
If <file name> is long, the error message is truncated by the total number
of characters over 37 in the file name.
NOTE: Some characters in the message, such as carriage returns are not
visible.
WORKAROUND
The truncated error message causes no data loss. In most cases, the correct
response is to click No, and save the file using a different file name.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
