Computer viruses: description, prevention, and recovery
When you try to edit text in Microsoft Publisher by using
the
Edit Story in Microsoft Word command, you may receive the
following error message:
Windows is low on memory. To free
up memory, save your work and close other programs; then continue
working.
This issue may occur if Norton Antivirus or Norton System
Works is installed on your computer and you have the Script Blocking option
turned on. This issue is known to occur in Norton System Works
2002.
To work around this issue, turn off the Script Blocking
feature in Norton Antivirus or Norton System Works. For information about how
to do so, see the documentation that is included with Norton Antivirus or
Norton System Works.
Note You can activate Script Blocking again after you are finished
using Publisher.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
