Peter, It's all listed in great detail here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211489 In simple terms though, the maximum Word files size is 512 Megabytes. George From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Bentley Sent: 24 May 2011 16:23 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Maximum capacity of a Word file Using Word 2010 Does anybody know if there is a maximum size to a word file whether it be in 2010 or 2003. Putting it another way would it be impractical for a book of say 600 print pages to be contained within one file. There are obvious navigational advantages - I realise that Daisy would be the ideal route but that is a different issue. Thanks for any help. Peter Bentley
