This defies belief.

It has been my experience that as soon as you ask Word to do anything 
remotely nontrivial, it slows to a crawl, produces gigantic files, and 
eventually starts to function eratically (e.g., sections of text being 
duplicated, random formatting changes, deleted text "moving" to other 
parts of the document, etc.)

Quite how you could produce really *large* documents with it I have no 
idea...
