Default What is the maximum practical length of a Word document?

Word 2007 documents (docx) are nothing more than zip files. So the same
limitations should apply. If I'm not mistaken, the limitations for zip
archives a
- a maximum file size of 4GB
- a maximum of 65536 files in a single archive (that would be around 65500
images, custom xml, ...)

Of course, Microsoft Word, and any other editor out there, will probably ran
out of memory, become really slow, or crash long before those limits are
reached.
