When I try to paste information into a table though out my word doc. I receive the following error "There are too many edits within this document. This operation will not complete. Save your work." Is there a work around or fix for this problem? I tried searching Technet, but I had no luck finding answers about this issue.

This is a common Word problem. The following is from MS Knowledgebase;

SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word document that contains an object and then attempt to move the object, the following error message may appear:

There are too many edits in the document. This operation will be incomplete. Save your work.
This error message may appear even if you did no other editing prior to moving the object.

CAUSE
Word cannot move the object if you have insufficient disk space.

In Windows, this amount of space is determined by the available space in your temporary (TEMP) directory (you designate this directory using the SET TEMP statement).

RESOLUTION
Free some disk space (in Windows, free space on the drive that contains the TEMP directory).

Bottom line, no matter which version you are using, free some space on the directory that hold your Temp file.
