Use RSG Virtual Memory helps you to create longer and more complex documents by creating a temporary file on your disk. RSG uses the temporary file to store things like pictures, thus freeing memory. When you quit RSG, the temporary file is automatically deleted. When you open RSG, Use Virtual Memory is on. You must click it to turn it off. If you turn Use Virtual Memory off, RSG relies entirely on your computer's memory. If your document does not contain picture blocks, you should turn this option off and choose Save Defaults from the File menu. Re-start your Mac to put the change into effect.
