Default massive document - help please!!!

I have been given an elderly gentleman's biography that is written in Word
2003. It contains text and photographs and is 159 pages/547 MB! When I open
the document it looks fine but will not allow me to edit or save - the
toolbar goes grey. I am also using Word 2003 and trying to copy and paste it
into smaller documents, so I can edit, save and print. I have managed to copy
a small amount of text into another page but get the same greyed out toolbar
problem in that document. If I click text only in the paste options the text
disappears altogether. I have tried deleting the photographs but as the
toolbar greys out I can do nothing with it. It was saved as read only but I
have changed that in properties. Please help - I cannot face typing 159 pages
and it would be a shame to lose the document.
