Large WORD '03 document

["Lucero, Peggy" <plucero -at- atsva -dot- com>]

All,

Team members are making their updates to a 555 page System Design Document.  I got this email today:
"We are having some issues with Word crashing when we open and close the SDD.  I'm thinking that we might be running into a limitation in Word with respect to large files (the SDD is currently 19MB).  Have you ever worked with master documents?  You can have multiple documents linked to a single master, so you can edit the individual pieces without losing the ability to view and print the whole document through the master."
I haven't ever worked with  'master documents'.  But, I spoke briefly with the boss and was told that her experience is that going this route would probably worsen the situation!

All I can think of is to break document into 3-4 smaller docs (SDD Part I, SDD Part II... etc.)  
Anyone have a better approach?
Thanks,

Peggy Lucero
