If the document was created in Word, then the maximum size for the text part
is 32 MB. The images don't count against the 32 MB limit. But you did
specify that the text was 512 MB. I'm not sure how you got a document that
big if you created it in Word. Are you sure it isn't 512 KB?

So, are you saying that the document is corrupt, because i ve change the
document type from rtf to doc, to txt also, but it is showing as the same
size i.e. 512MB
