#documenttoolarge — Public Fediverse posts

One of the truly funny moments in my tech writing: I forget what the project was, but during final edits of an actually not very large manual, Microsoft Word bleated this https://nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_er_for_stort.jpg at me.

This translates to "The document is too large to save. Delete some of the text before saving."

A post on the face place reminded me that at one time back when I was still occasionally using MSFT wares I had the dominant text mincer application there tell me that

"The document is too large to save. Delete some text before saving."

(in Norwegian, evidence preserved as https://nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_er_for_stort.jpg).

Now I'm a tad curious whether anyone else has been bitten by that variant. (This would have been early-noughties time if it matters)
