I did a search I cannot find this documented definitively anywhere. A
Google
search turned up a post where the answer was they "assumed" it was about the
same as the 32MB limit in Word XP.
Other posts seem to indicate that it might be much larger and they had
worked with 270MB files in Word 2003 with no problem.
Is there a link on the Microsoft website that states an approximate or
finite limit?
I have users who "must" work with 80 MB and larger Microsoft Word documents
of 200 pages or more in length (with embedded graphics and equations).
They use 2 Ghz Pentim 4 systems with 512MB RAM with Windows 2000 or XP Pro.
Word 2002 often stops responding while the huge documents are saved on a
network share.
I suggested they copy the documents to their local desktop to make edits,
then copy the file back to the network to be backed up overnight to
eliminate frequent saving across the network as the source of the problem.
Will upgrading from Word 2002 to Word 2003 eliminate the problems of large
document size?
Secondly, what are the best ways to work with very large Word documents?
