The disk is full trying to write "FileName.pub". Please save this file to a different disk and/or drive.

After you re-establish connectivity, and try to save the publication, you receive the same error, and /or:

Publisher cannot create a temporary-working file.

01. Switch to a page that you have changed.

02. Press Select All on the Edit menu.

03. Press Copy on the Edit menu.

04. Start a new session of Publisher from the Windows Start menu.
