Assuming you are running System 7 (or 6 with multifinder), Word should have more memory than 2000 when you attempt to use one of the plug-in modules like picture, grammar, equation editor, etc. This is especially important with a large drawing. Keep increasing the memory allocation until you don't get a crash, you might have to go above 2500-3000. > >The other problem I have is that WORD writes multiple WORD Settings(5) >files. >That is, I find copies of this file in many different directories. The first thing to try is to trash the settings file (you may have to trash all you can find, but the essential one should be the one in the preferences folder (Sys 7) or system folder (6). If that doesn't work, open the commands... dialog and click "reset" and then "save as" and make sure the settings file is being saved in the right place. Perhaps you have some utility like Boomerang or DefaultD that is confusing word when it saves the settings? -- Dana E.
