No problems here on either of my Mac-II's, one with 8MB and the other with
5MB, both running multifinder. Do you have a lot of inits, etc, running?

I am impressed with 4.0, having used it to provide camera-ready (as well
as compose) a book for McGraw-Hill according to their typesetting specs.
I had considered FullWrite (too slow, and in fact, some of their "features"
were too restrictive) and PageMaker, but found Word 4.0 the clear winner.
