Actually, the 'first megabyte' restriction was, I thought, only a
problem for another Microsoft product, Excel, and it might have been
fixed in version 1.5. I don't think Word ever suffered from this. I
believe there is even some sort of special kludge (I don't know how it
works) in Finder/Multifinder to load Excel at the bottom of free
memory; most applications are loaded close to the top (high addresses).
