Clive,
Thank you for your quick response. I did in fact correct
the problem late last night (1:00 am EST) by dumping Word
Setting (9) from the preference file. Fixed both the
printing and menu problems. Per your advice I have also
increased my memory allocation to word. Was at around 17554
and I went to 80000. I have 384MB installed. When I
attempted to set minimum at 7000 I got a warning box
indicating that If I did not set minimum at 14554 that Word
would crash. Note: I've been running with Virtual Memory
off because of some earlier problem that I can not remember
at this time.
