[comp.sys.mac] Macwrite / Clipboard question

tims@starfish.Convergent.COM (Tim Simmons) (05/18/89)

 I have been having some strange trouble using MacWrite 5.0 lately.
 I am using a mac 512k w/ROM upgrade and SCSI HD, finder 6.0 system
 4.2 (or is it the other way around?).

 When I quit out of a Macwrite document after it has been modified
 I get a dialog box that says someting like "The Clipboard is too
 large to tranfer by DA's or finder".  
 
 The problem is that there is nothing on the clipboard!  When I
 attempt to use the spell checker it won't work due to lack of
 memory.  I have used the spell checker on this system in the past.
 Yes I have the cache set correctly, and system set to finder not
 multifinder.  It seems as if the clipboard is taking up large
 amounts of memory.

 What's the deal?  Am I overlooking something stupid?

 Thanks in advanced for your wisdom
