Sorry, I was one of those who suggested posting here. It would be helpful if
you would reply with the suggestions you've already gotten so that people
won't repeat. Also, John McGhie posted some excellent suggestions on
handling large documents within the last couple of weeks, you might check
for his posts.

I am sorry that I didn't follow the ettiquette. Some of the replies in the
other newsgroups told me to repost here. I will keep in mind for future.
Thank you.

See replies to your posts in other newsgroups. In the Microsoft Word
newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate messages to
multiple
newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum (unusual) please
post
a single message with both forums in the header of that single message.
That
way (1) your question and the various answers stay together, (2) less
space
is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is used on the Internet,
(4)
you only have to check one forum for answers that appear in both forums,
and
(5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you are asking for help.
This
isn't meant to criticize you. We were all beginners once and the only way
to
learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the Microsoft newsgroups don't want
posting in more than one newsgroup, period. Check the FAQ.)
Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons
ase
well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly.

We have created a program in VB & VBA that assists users in creating
midsize
documents daily. There will be one file for each day anywhere from
3-25
pages in length. We need to combine these documents once a year into
one
large file to be published into a book. The document is straight text.
No
images. In the end it will be approximately 1500-2000 pages in length
including table of contents and index. We hope to index and do TOC
using
Word's automated features. Before we attempt this I would like to know
any
limitations of Word. Can Word handle a document of this size? What do
we
need to do to prevent file corruption? Are there any special steps we
need
to take? What is the easiest way to combine all the daily files into
one
at
the end? We looked at Master Docs but read about corruption.
