textbox /inline shape limits

[Dennis Sacca]

Is there a limit to the number of textboxes which can be
in a single document?

Is there a limit to the number of inline shapes in a
single document?

What about the max number of combined textboxes and
inline shapes in a single document?

Hi Dennis
I suspect that the official answer(if there is one) is probably something
along the lines of "limited by available memory".

The MSKB article on Word's operating limitations and parameters is silent on
the subject of embedded objects / drawing objects, aside from saying that the
maximum file size excludes graphics no matter how they have been added to the
document.

I have seen documents containing more than 20 text boxes that had print
problems, but that could have been a print driver issue. Converting some of
the text boxes to single celled tables solved the problem.
