Need help. With Vista, Wrdpad corrupted text -using RTF

When I type very long documents , and I use RTF not anything else so I don't know for sure, I often get
corrupted text.
It's while I'm typing it's that my input causes some kind
of error in the conversion from ASCII to RTF (I think)
and the document's RTF conversion 'goes bad' for
the time I'm typing. If I save and start over it's OK.
If the document is not very long it's OK.
It's as if when there's lots and lots of ASCII to RTF
converting going on (That's the only way I know to
say it) the document will begin to show up letters
that are the wrong font, color, size, etc. AS if the
ASCII to RTF conversion has lost an important 'bit'
of the code.
IF a bit of the code, for RTF, is lost.. as in HTML , it
will affect words and characters after that error
because the 'right' code isn't there or was corrupt.
The only way to 'fix' is to save document often, if
an error starts.. copy the good part, close the document
without saving, open it again, paste the copied part
(that's so I can have saved it from being lost) and
hope to begin again.
Thrings that cause the Document to go corrupt..
Pasting long strings of text into the document,
especially if the new string is of different font type
or color or size.
My memory is OK according to many runs of Mem86.
Other editors dont have the problem. But I need
RTF and not many simple editors use it. If you
have an RTF editor that's simple that you like
I'd like some tips to them.
I'd rather fix the problem
I seem to think if I could turn off disk caching while
making /typin the documents that would fix the
problem. I'm not quite sure why I thik this. but how
can I turn off disk caching for writing to see what I
can learn?
Is there anyone who thinks they can help me figure this
one out? I'm more than willing to help make it right
and find out exactly why it's being corrupted.
Thank you.
