Well I have tried the demo version on my 1 meg MacPlus and a 1 meg Mac II and as far as I can tell even a single picture will cause you to be limited to a page or two in the chapter. In fact one of the sample documents that has a picture consistently causes warnings about being low on memory if I try to create a second picture and this document is only a single page long. The only inits I am running are QuicKeys and Suitcase. So unless you are only planning on doing text this could be a serious limitation for those of you still awaiting your memory upgrades from apple. ( I don't think my thesis can wait that long.) Glen
