Out of Memory?

I have Word XP on XP Home w/512 MG of RAM. When working on large documents -- 5-8MG, I often get low-memory messages. How can I increse the memory allowed to the application?

You need to adjust your page file. As you have 512MB RAM you should
set your swap file to 1.5GB (1.5x your total RAM).

1.5 times the installed RAM is 784, not 1.5. If you mean 3x the installed
RAM, then your answer is correct.
