I haven't had the opportunity to really become familiar with Word 6 yet,
but have worked extensively in Word 2.  I had no problems with documents
of up to 45 or 50 pages.  To be truthful, I never tried to do more than
this in Word.  When I had longer documents, I broke them into chapters as
Karen suggests.  It sounds like a practice I will be continuing.  Thanks
for the feedback.
