[AccessD] PowerPoint Problem

[Gary Kjos]

No I've got Office 365 and all updates are applied.  The downloaded
files in my case are xls files.  The message I got was that I didn't
have enough memory or something although I have a 16 GB RAM and
nothing else was running system.  First time I rebooted to make sure
nothing was lurking.

I think this is the message I was getting

Microsoft Excel Cannot Open Or Save Any More Documents Because There
Is Not Enough Memory

And the solutions are here that I used.....
