I've had trouble saving Word files with lots of pages (100 page plus on my
old machine, a few hundred on my new one). Didn't crash, just refused to
save sometimes. Possible to work around, but I found it easier to break up
my manuscript into sub-100 page bits. I get the impression Word just isn't
designed for writing whole books in one go.
