Word According to Microsoft, Word may run out of memory when you format a table in page layout view. This problem, which may also occur when you use the AutoFormat command, may cause your PC to stop responding. You may also receive one of the following error messages: “The formatting in this document is too complex” or “There is not enough memory to update display.” As temporary workaround go to Tools>Options>Save and turn off the “Allow fast saves” check box, and click Normal in the View menu.
