Default Word Freezes when entering TOC

.... What Suzanne wrote, plus anything else you can think of that might be
contributing to such an enormous file size; Are you using Track Changes?,
the Versions feature?, Master/Sub-Documents? Also, what are the system specs
(processor, RAM)?

My gut feeling is that you're dealing with a document that has begun to
suffer [at least] low-level corruption. Perhaps a 'Maggie' is in order but
I'd wait for more input from Suzanne. In the meantime I'd strongly recommend
making a back-up copy if you haven't already!

...

I've searched the threads and can't seem to find this particular
problem....

I have a VERY long document - 578 pages so far. I've formatted and
added styles and levels to all that I want in the table of contents. I
tell it to create the TOC using 3 levels and it does it, but when I
click on anything after Word freezes and does not respond.

Think my document is too big? It's 93mb so far and I have lots more to
add to it. I've done a disk clean, defrag but it still hangs up and
it's only this document. I'm using Word 2003....

Any help would be appreciated!

Stacie
