Hi All

Does anyone know if there is a maximum size for a Word template? Or has
anyone experience of code becoming unstable with templates above a certain
size? Or any performance issues?

I haven't yet but want to be aware if it is likely to happen.

Thanks for any response.

There is an absolute limit of 32Mb "not including graphics" for any Word
document, including a template.

I would be concerned about any template that is mainly the container for
code if it gets towards 1Mb. See this article.
