I have some 700-page Word docs with (several hundred) linked graphics and
cross-references, and have not had a problem with crashes. I don't know
how big a document it will manage. It certainly is far better than Word
95.
I'm told W97 is better again on an NT4 machine with lots of memory, but I
only have 128MB on Win 98.
