Yeah, I had a similar problem with MacWrite, that is, that I had to swap disks
enough times when loading a document from another disk that I could have
typed the thing in again!  I got around this, though, by using a RamDisk (I
have a fat Mac) containing MacWrite and the system stuff.  Since this gives
a (virtual) two drive system, there is no problem with loading stuff from 
another disk.  When you click "open", it will give you a window in which you
can select the internal drive or the RamDisk, and you can eject the startup
disk and replace it with the disk containing your document.  It works like
a charm!
