Either Windows 95 or Word (or both) have been grabbing memory and not giving it back. Multiple sessions will sometimes exhaust the GDI Resource space. To keep on eye on this, open the Resource Meter from Program / Accessories. It will present a four-bar green box on the taskbar, and will warn you if memory drops into that bottom bar. Save and close down both Word, and Windows, and reopen to continue (you can setup the Resource Meter to display whenever you open Word — see your Windows help file).
