Default Large Document Creation

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.
