I hit an odd problem the other day while using Word 5.1 [under System 7.01, with
Tuneup 1.1.1].  I needed to change the printer, so I selected Chooser from the
Apple menu, and it reported there wasn't enough memory to run.  So I switched to
some other applications that were backgrounded and quit them, then tried to use
the Chooser.  It kept insisting that there wasn't enough memory to run. 
Selecting "About this Macintosh..." showed I had a meg free.  However, Chooser
simply would not run until after I saved my document and quit Microsoft Word.

This seem more like a System bug than a Word bug; however, I've never seen such a
thing until we installed Word 5.1 a couple of weeks ago.  Has anyone else seen
this, or have any clues what happened?

This is just idle curiosity, BTW...it was only a minor nuisance, and I avoid Word
whenever possible.
