Recently I have been having regular problems with the EndNote+ PIM "running out of memory". Following the advice in the manual, I have increased WORD's memory allocation to 3.5meg (!) and it is still happening. I have several moderately large documents (each ~40k inc embedded references) open at a time, but I should have thought the above memory size could cope easily. I previously wondered whether the crashes were due to consulting a very large database (~30Meg), but I hadn't even opened it before the last crash. How can I stabilise my machine? I am running WORD v5.1a, EN+ PIM v1.0 on a 20Meg RAM Mac IIfx with system 7.1, , 32-bit addressing, and a limited number of mundane extensions. David Ish-Horowicz ICRF Developmental Biology Unit, Oxford PS. Am I unusual in disliking the PIM for actually referencing manuscripts? It is fine as a database (though so is the DA), but working with referenced manuscripts is a pain. They are doubled in size over equivalent files referenced using EN+ non-PIM, cut-and-paste slowly, scroll slowly, and are less portable. What are the compelling advantages of the PIM?
