My recent conversations with MicroSoft indicate that these sorts
of messages are probably due to one of two causes:
        1) File Handles
        2) Edit Undo
It seems that Word6.x consumes file handles at a prodigious rate,
especially when we're doing something non-file-related, like
dragging column widths in a table. Word routines are not
returning the file handles, and memory is being hogged.
It seems that the EditUdo information is stored in the last
paragraph mark of a document. The more you do, the more is
available to Undo. And there is (Msoft tells me) no way of
disabling Undo, even when you *KNOW* that you're a macro, and
have no way of making use of Undo!
Three suggestions have been floated to me:
        1) Full Save periodically to flush Undo
        2) Peridically call a macro with
                 ToolsRevisions .MarkRevisions = 1
                 ToolsRevisions .MarkRevisions = 0
        3) Close and reload Word peridocially.
I hope this helps.
