I have recentely started copying and pasting bookmarks from other documents, but pasting them as a HTML link so that they are inserted as OLE_LINK1, OLE_LINK2, etc. This has caused the Word files to become a lot slower.

When I click on one of these bookmarks which points to a section of the current document itself, the status bar keeps flashing "Opening …" messages, and after a dozen of such messages are displayed, then finally the document goes to the place where the bookmark points to.

Why is this happening, and is there a solution for it?

Also, some of my Word files are getting huge. I have some which are 800 pages with lots of figures, and over 32 meg in file size. Should I be worried about such large files, or can Word handle it?

Word can handle large file sizes as long as you don't run out of memory. – Breakthrough Jul 26 '11 at 18:38
Are you keeping up on Windows Updates? They tend to fix a lot of weird issues such as things like this. – ultrasawblade Jul 26 '11 at 18:40
Yes, I keep Windows completely updated. The second question has something to do with those OLE_Link bookmarks. I can stop using them, but I want to know if they are in general a problem, or they are causing problem only for my document. – Linda Bertoli Jul 26 '11 at 20:15

Note that you should only ask one question at a time. I edited the first part of your question, as it is quite general and probably has been asked/answered before. Your second question seemed more relevant and practical. – slhck Jul 26 '11 at 21:41
