Do make a copy of the file in a separate directory before attempting any
recovery, slice & dice or other operations. Only work with the copy until
you get the results needed.

Sometimes it works to open Word, drill to file, hover on it, then select
'Open and Repair' on drop down arrow instead of open. Have been able to
recover things that seemed lost with that method. No guarantees, but worth
a try. Also sometimes luck out by opening a blank document and inserting
the troublemaker.

Filesize limit?
The whole problem here seems to be that our poor friend can't OPEN the
document. So all the suggestions on how to make it smaller by editing it,
moving
graphics outside etc, are great, but probably not much immediate help.
My suggestion would be to reboot, and shut down every unneeded service.
Then
try opening the document. If that works, by all means try some of the
suggestions regarding fixing it. But if it still doesn't open, I think
you're in
trouble. Maybe Star Office (free) can open it.
How in the world did you manage to get an almost-1Gig Word document anyway?
It sounds like Word is not the best tool for your purposes.
