Well, 578 pages is not so long (Word has been known to handle up to 10,000
pages), but 93 MB is huge. Given that the limit for text in a Word doc is 32
MB, I would guess that you have a lot of graphics. You can optimize
performance (whenever possible) by working with the document in Normal view
with repagination disabled and picture placeholders enabled.

I've searched the threads and can't seem to find this particular
problem....
I have a VERY long document - 578 pages so far. I've formatted and
added styles and levels to all that I want in the table of contents. I
tell it to create the TOC using 3 levels and it does it, but when I
click on anything after Word freezes and does not respond.
Think my document is too big? It's 93mb so far and I have lots more to
add to it. I've done a disk clean, defrag but it still hangs up and
it's only this document. I'm using Word 2003....
Any help would be appreciated!
