Hello everyone-

Is there anyway at all to get around or turn off the limit to a file size
Word 2000 can open? I have a genealogy file of roughly *800 MB*, and it
starts off as if it is going to open it. A few real minutes later (About
four minutes), it will display the top portion of the file briefly, but
immediately proceeds to give me an error.

I am using a computer with 3.8G of memory, and AMD Athlon XP processor
(1.66G), and 100 G hard drive, 72G free. I should have the room.

Ok, according my book, 32MB is the limitation for Word to open a file. Ug. I
could have sworn I saw people opening bigger files. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Robert
