Microsoft Word Maximum number of hyperlinks ?

[Jim]

I have a large Word 2000 file on a PC. A few days ago,
when I created new Hyperlinks, the new hyperlinks would
not work. Clicking on them took me to the top of the
document. -- ( I did not have any special characters in
the Hyperlink. I've been through that problem. )

I finally deleted a major section of the document with a
lot of Hyperlinks. Now I can add new Hyperlinks that
work once again. This document was about 1100 pages.
(Not my longest document which is about 1600 pages and
has hyperlinks)

So, I'm trying to find some answers:

1. What is the Maximum Number of Hyperlinks you can have
in a Microsoft Word Document. I expect different answers
based on which version. I'm interested in Word 2000 and
in Word XP. (Or maybe it's not a Maximum Number, but a
Maximum amount of characters in all the Hyperlinks.)

2. How can you check how much of this Maximum your
document is using.

If anyone has any ideas, please reply. Or if you know
how to send this question directly to the Microsoft
Technical Group, please reply.

Thanks for the help,

Hyperlinks are fields, of which the maximum in a document is 32000. But
you're likely to hit computer memory and performance limits long before you
get to that number.

Why make life so hard for yourself? Working with such large documents makes
*everything* a challenge, both for you and for the software.
