Thanks to all.
On the issue of rights, I have never had any issues before this saga, so
should I assume I have had 'rights' to save documents under administrato??
When you say 'truncated' does that mean you cannot see the CaptureWiz
images?? I have had issues all along with Gnucash needing specific file
types to display files for messages, does that apply to gnucash-user??
For reasons I don't understand I have never been able to copy files from
Gnu in my MS Windows10 to the 'required' format, for queries about
Gnucash....!! Quite frustrating.

Your last message was truncated before the salient part, but I suspect
that you do not have rights for GnuCash to save files in administrato
user space.
You need to unscramble which username is your 'standard' username and
put all your user files including other types from other applications
such as spreadsheets, pdfs, text files, etc. in that userspace
Documents folder or some subfolder. I am not sure how much trouble it
will be to do that, but you probably need to have administrator rights
to accomplish that. Then you can make sure that your 'standard' user
has read/write rights for all those files so you no longer need
administrator rights. I am not a Windows guru so I may have
overlooked some details to warn you about. Good luck.

Thanks for the details, OK, here goes.
I opened this file in Gnu -
No 'log' It had a 'save' icon and when I try to save it I get this -
That is the problem. There is plenty of space.
