You probably are going to need at least 10-12-14 Megs of RAM.

If you are primarily doing desktop publishing / page layaout get PageMaker.
However, for Technical writing either get FrameMaker or MS Word.
FrameMaker is by far the most widely used document procesor among companies
I am familiar with.

Good luck
