<You didn't say what you raised the allocations to,,, so... Memory control panel -- set VM to 96 MB, no higher. OS 8.1 doesn't perform well if it's much more than real*2. Put the cache setting at Default!
The ClarisWorks application itself. Never touch "minimum", just increase "Preferred". I'd give it suggested+4000 K.> All right, I've made these changes to both the memory control panel and Claris itself, rebooted, and still can't open this document. The specific Claris settings, well, I had already changed "minimum" and don't recall the absolute original, but since "suggested" is 1400, I gave the "minimum" 2000 (I do regularly work with other large WP documents, although I've never had this problem on the 7200 before) -- as to the "preferred," I followed your advice and gave it 5000 (that counts as +4000). <Make sure you have enough free disk space, for ClarisWorks' temp files.> Hmmm, well, my 7200's original internal HD (1.2 GB) has 931.5 MB remaining available, and the second HD (1.9 GB) has 1.5 GB remaining available. Surely either of these must be enough free disk space to open a 2.5 MB document in Claris...? No? <If that doesn't fix it, then the problem isn't the document size or memory. It's probably the text->ClarisWorks format translator cramping. In that case the best solution might be to install an alternative text editor that doesn't have TeachText/SimpleText's 32 KB limit. Then you can copy/paste the relivant pieces you need.> Sounds good to me. Do you know of any such text editors and can you recommend any in particular?
