Thanks for the advice! Given that I do have a number of separate documents
however, what is the best way to join them together since master documents
are a no-go area?

No, the maximum size for the text alone (not counting graphics) is 32 MB.
I
think you'll find most MVPs and other power users will recommend keeping
long documents in a single file insofar as possible. Although it is
possible
to create a TOC or index spanning multiple documents, it is much, much
easier to do in a single document, and outline numbering and pagination
become truly a nightmare in multiple documents.

I've heard that the maximum size (including graphics) was or is 32 MB.
If
you're writing something larger and very graphics-intensive, I'd consider
Adobe FrameMaker--but it's about $500.00. Unfortunately, I don't have
it.
I write a lot of online help documentation for proprietary software
systems,
and I create them in Word. To prevent the document from corrupting, I
create
a hub file which connects to other smaller files in a hierarchical
system.
(I use Doc-to-Help, which uses Word as its editor.) That way, I can have
what would otherwise be a 100MB Word document, but in a stable format.
You
may be able to emulate that in Word using hyperlinks and having each
chapter
in its own file.
