Oh - this would be the thread you were talking about
I assumed that
this site was different than the microsoft forum.....
Anyway - not a lot of graphics, but I do have some pages that were
scanned in and placed as pictures. Yeah, the huge part was on the 93MB.
I was pretty sure that Word could handle more pages than what I've got
so far......
The things in my document are a lot of tables. There's only a few flow
charts and about 10 scanned pages that were actually placed in there as
a picture. Do you think that is making the document so big? Should I
re-scan these documents (don't have them electronically) and try
again?

Well, 578 pages is not so long (Word has been known to handle up to
10,000
pages), but 93 MB is huge. Given that the limit for text in a Word doc
is 32
MB, I would guess that you have a lot of graphics. You can optimize
performance (whenever possible) by working with the document in Normal
view
with repagination disabled and picture placeholders enabled.

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!
