Word limitations
Hi Everyone, Two basic questions. Word 2000
1- Is there a size limit to a Word document? How many pages, etc.? 2- If Word is slow to open at 600 pages (reason for Q1 above) what could be the cause(s)? thank you for your time. Gilles Desjardins |

The only known limit is 32 MB of text only (not counting graphics).
Performance depends a lot on how much RAM you have and available HD space (processor speed is less a factor). Long tables can slow Word down a lot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/FastTables.htm -- Suzanne S.
