I have noticed that whenever I save a document as a new document, the old
document is not in memory anymore. I can open it but it seems in older
versions of Word that when I Saved As.. it kept the old and the new
documents in memory. Is this the way XP works and if so is there a setting
to chenge it? Thanks.

No. I don't think older versions of Word ever did this either.

What does "in memory" mean?

I think the idea is: open Doc1, save as Doc2, but the doc you're working on
is still Doc1.
