>at least that was what my professors said. 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. Dian D.

ROFLMAO!!!! <End> Well, yes. I was taught that as long as you had the hard drive space for a file, Word could handle it, at least that was what my professors said. Of course, that was before the age of gigantic hard drives. I didn't dream the size would cause a problem. That was when I split it into 4 volumes.
