Macintosh computers allow you to allocate a certain amount of memory for each application. The user can change the amount of memory reserved for WebPainter.

If you plan to work on an especially large document, or work on multiple files, the user may need to increase the amount of memory allocated for WebPainter. Try increasing the size to 3000K or to 4000K if you have enough computer memory. Although the memory for WebPainter can be reduced, the user should avoid specifying less memory than the suggested size in the WebPainter Info dialog box.

To change the memory allocation for WebPainter:

1. If WebPainter is open, quit the application.

2. Open the WebPainter Folder and click the WebPainter application icon once.

If you click the application icon twice, you start WebPainter. If that happens, choose Quit from the File menu and try again.
