No problem. If you have a really good system and a later version of
Word...you can up that limit to around 100-150 pages without much
problem...I did a manual last week that was 75 pages and tons of
section/images/styles and no issues at all. Realize that article WAS written
some time ago with slower systems in mind...and it should probably be
quantified per system...but an 11 gig file is totally outrageous!<lol>

Sorry, but your professor needs to get a grip on reality. I've been using
Word since 1995 and anytime you have a huge file with lots of images and
fancy stuff...it's not only gonna surely become corrupt, eventually, but
you're wasting a ton of time opening/closing the doc and moving from page to
page. Chop it into sub docs and make your life a lot easier.

I am reading your article right now.  It looks like you will be getting a
student for your advanced course in Word, after I take beginning Word. I
wish my professor was still around, he now specializes in teaching Corporate
Officers (president, ceo, treasurer, etc.), and I am dang sure he is telling
them the same thing!

After reading your article and noticing the 50 page suggested limit, I am
rethinking my design here. If I am not careful, I am liable to spend a year
re-typing this and I don't want to. <g> Hopefully, I can break it up better
than that.

Too bad I can't get you and my professor together. He used to brag how much
he knew about Word and Excel that if we could prove him wrong, he would give
that person an A and graduate him/her on the spot. "NEVER happen," he said.
I would love to see you demo you know more.

Thank you Dian.

Robert
