There is a limit of 32 *linked* text boxes, but anyone trying to create a
document with linked text boxes is using the wrong application. This is a
job that calls for Publisher (or "Book fold").

I was unable to finish a document in the past because I reached the
maximum number of text boxes that could be inserted. What is the new
"limit" in Word 2003.

The article "Operating parameter limitations and specifications in Word"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211489) doesn't list any maximum
number
of text boxes (or graphic objects, of which text boxes are one type).

I've never heard of any such limit in any version. Do you remember how
many
were in your previous document, and how you know that it hit a limit on
text
boxes (as opposed to, say, a limit on memory or a limit on file size)?
