We're trying to figure out whether to pin our memory & crashing problems
here on Frame 4 or Word 6. Sounds like they both are monsters!

me, too - I was dedicated MAC user until I had to switch to Word for Windows
when I left the freelance world and sold out. Actually, there are
many good things about both - it's kinda like getting into a war over
whether
to use a standard screwdriver or a Phillips Head - depends on the
circumstance.
My husband says we have a mixed marriage - I'm MAC, and he's PC...
By the way, anyone else having memory problems or master document
problems in Word 6.0 for Windows?
