Re: Word uses up to 130 Mb RAM

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

G'Day,

I am not sure why you regard this as a problem, or even that you have
a problem - other than Hypervigilance and Anxiety.

When I read your situation, I became curious about Word's memory
usage on my Desktop PC.

I checked it and found it levelled off at about 139MB with a large document
open, and it undergoes quite large swings around this figure while editing. This
of course is NOT RAM but Virtual Memory - of which my PC has about
2000MB (provided by Windows Xp).

Since t'was ever thus (without issue) I shall now quit being curious about
matters that are of little importance (unless a REAL problem develops),
and get back to Work!
