The Technical Problem that I was Having
The technical problem, I think, was not hitting the escape key after copy and paste to clear out the "desktop"; plus I need to get more RAM. MemTurbo has a couple nice featuers: One rescues you from memory outages, the other one, you "scrub" just as you're going on break and it changes you memory from 20% and approx. 20MB left to 45% and approx 50 MB free memory. My husband has an important project this weekend, so rather than take to computer to have more RAM put in right away, I downloaded some memory management programs and tested them out this morning. Also, I wait longer between "saves" on material I'm copying and pasting onto the Decoding Shakespeare blog.
