rename its extension to *.rtf and use wordpad to open instead.

i remember last time my FYP thesis i never bother to separate to chapters, so its one lump of a super big doc. file, like almost 80-100mb.
so open microsoft word, then select that file to open, you will be asked which format you want to open with....just try loh...
or you can use Wordpad (NOT notepad), it should be quite fast. I once open a 80mb txt file (pure txt) using wordpad, it opens like within 5 seconds! fast!
uh...you using pentium 4 pc right? -
Now trying to highlight the text also lag like shit. is there any way to separate the thing into parts with a short cut?

Hey. Use low resolution images in your documents.
Only photoshop files I see reach more than 100mb. -

another way is reduce all your background memory usage, like no-use programs all off, crtl+alt+del, then in applications or processes, try to end some background staff.
Else when you successfully got into the word file, immediately is to delete half of it off and SAVE IT AS ANOTHER FILE NAME, same as cutting half into two file.

else maybe you can go internet search for file-splitter programs...
