[comp.sys.mac.apps] WORD 4.0 and draftprinting error- Sys7?

boz@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (John Boswell) (05/23/91)

Hi peoples,
	Ever come home from a long day to be met at the door by a flying
Macintosh?  That's what almost happened to me tonight.  My fiance has been
trying for a couple of hours, it seems, to print a draft copy of her 
paper (due tomorrow) on my imagewriter II.  MS Word (4.0something) kept giving
her a "Low on Memory, close all docs" error after 2 pages of a 9 page paper.
I reproduced this, then simply selected "Faster" in the imagewriter dialog;
paper printed fine.  Can you say "Nasty Look"?
Any clue why? (for the printing problem; I know why I got the dirty look :) )

System:
SE/30, 5 MB
System 7.0
2MB for Word.  Right after the "low Memory" error, I went to the Finder, and
Word was only using 1/2 of it's 2MB!  Sheesh.  I never print in draft mode,
so I never saw this before with system 6.0.x; can't say it is a sys7 or Word
problem.

I'd love any comments or help!
