this file but MS Word 2000/XP 2003 are not allowing me to save more
data...May i know the file size limit?

I don't think there is any file size limit (I could be wrong)..
Generally the maximum file size that you can create/edit/read i
dependent on your system resources such as RAM and swap space... th
larger they are, the larger your maximum file size..

If your disk is formated with FAT there will be a limit on file size, if
it's NTFS then there is no limit.
You could try a disk clean to delete any old temp files.
