When I try to compile a table of contents using Word 3.01 on a large
multi-file document it runs out of memory - even though there is plenty
available.   Is this a bug in Word, and if so, can I get around it?

I've tried the same operation with MultiFinder on and off, and with
the MF partition size increased to 500K - no dice.  When MultiFinder
is on, the little bar graphs in the About Finder... box show that
word has lots of memory available.  Then why won't it use it?

I'm using a Mac Plus with 1M, running finder 6.1 and system 6.0.2

Any help appreciated, as this is driving me mad!
