     I have encountered some strange behavior from Microsoft word for Windows.

I've been trying to insert a .pcx file into a document and print it.  I get
the .pcx file inserted alright, but when I print the document, the picture
is missing.  It appears correctly on the print preview, and it gives no error
messages.  When I try the same thing with a small picture it works fine, so I
guess the picture I'm trying to print is too big.
     The really weird part occurs when I exit Word and check free memory
(under the program manager ABOUT).  It tells me I have only 9 Megs free, when
previously I had over 15 Megs free (4 Megs Ram + 12 Meg swap file).  I have no
other apps running.  What happend to the other 6 or so Megs??
   Is there some type of memory unallocation problem with windows?

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light...

Thanks,
Bill Kish
