Expressed another way, 2^32 characters, that is 4,294,967,296 characters. If every word had one letter and one space separated each
word, that'd be 2,147,483,648 words.

Supposedly you can have 32 Mb of text (not graphics etc.) in one file.
You can't even _count_ how many words that would be!

What is the maximum number of words I can have in a MS Word document (2007)?
Does the Word function suffer when its size rises above a certain word
length? If so, what is the limit under which I can use the Word without a
problem associated with the size?

Thanks.


Awesome thread, helped me to calculate that I would need to keep working on this document for another ~800 years before reaching the size limit. That is a big comfort. Thank you all!
