Problem

Symptoms: A customer receives the error "No Room On Disk To Retrieve Text" when trying to retrieve a file that contains graphics. Solutions: Usually, when files are recovered after receiving this error, the graphics are lost. The problem occurs when the customer tries to save the file to an area of a disk that does not have enough disk space. Instead of giving the user an error, however, the program will go ahead and save the file but damage the graphics and the graphics prefix. The graphics boxes are left intact, but the user must re-enter the name of the figure file to be in the box. It may be possible for the customer to recover the document using one of the following two methods. 1. Using the CONVERT.EXE program, convert the file to RFT format and then convert it back to WP format and try to retrieve the file into WP. Note: This method is not recommended. Please see memos ALL_8554D and 21570C for more information. 2. Start WP 5.1 from Shell. Enter List Files (F5), highlight the affected file, and choose Look (6). Block the entire file and save it to the Clipboard (Ctrl-F1, 1). Exit from List Files and retrieve the file from the Clipboard (Ctrl-F1, 4). Note: This will only work if WP is entered from the Shell. If neither of these options work, the user will need to send in the file.
