Create a postscript file from Word. Take it to Kinko's and have them print
it for you on their Xerox Docutech printer. That should be much cheaper.
They can give you necessary postscript drivers for their Docutech if you
need them.
Or, create a PDF file from Word (or from your postscript file) and print it
yourself. Make sure you create hi-res (at least 600dpi) graphics.

I have a Word 97 document that is 250 pages long and growing daily. It has
about 150 screen shots (optimized; each is about 110K), one gif, and about
a dozen Visio graphics. It's 5.83MB today.
I have a Pentium II machine with MMX technology, 6.1GB drive, 128 MB RAM.
This is a high-end machine, fully upgraded.
