I have the home version of MS Word that came on my laptop and have two very large documents, a manual and technical training course material, that will not save when they got over 32MB - with no warning that they would not be saved. In the past I have always used the Office version at work in which I know I have created documents that are 60MB to 80MB which were all several hundred pages each. Why is there a limitation of the home version of MS Word and what is the limit of the version I use that a corporation get a license to use? Is there a limitation of the corporate version, and what is it if there is? It's infuriating to put a lot of work into a document to find out that it won't save the document - or any changes past a certain point. So far I have had to split the manual and the training course into two documents, but that's not very helpful because of the numbering on the graphics that are in there (the home version will not allow you to start numbering graphics at anything but 1, and that's a problem with the second part of the material, I don't want the graphics starting with number 1, they need to be somewhere around 56.) What's the real deal between these two versions of Word?
