Hi Ariana,
In addition to what Dayo said, it's possible that increasing the Preferred
memory assigned to Word 98 may help. Here's the procedure:
Navigate to the Word application in the Finder, select it and Get Info
(Command i). Go to the Memory pane and try upping Word's Preferred memory
in increments of 5000K (leave Minimum memory alone). We usually recommend a
Preferred memory setting of 48000K in Word 2001 but you may not need that
much in Word 98. Be sure Virtual Memory is turned on in Control
Panels> Memory.
