I have run into the RAM limit with WordUp.  No, it doesn't swap with
the disk in any mode I know of.

The only time that I've run out of memory was when I tried loading a lot
of fonts and opened several documents at once.  Since then, I went from
1 meg to 4.  Needless to say, I haven't had any trouble since then.  One
drawback of WordUp is that printouts take a long time since everything
is printed in graphics mode.  There is an ASCII printout option, but its
pretty crude.  I would expect that any program which used GDOS fonts in
the printout would suffer from slow printing.

Often, I still use good ole 1st Word if I don't need fancy fonts.  If I
want fonts, I use WordUp.  

All in all, I highly recommend WordUp.
