A 4Mb Word document is trivial. Word can handle files of up to 512Mb in size, with up to 32Mb of text. Of course, such a file will perform slowly.

Large amounts of graphics (especially if they have more resolution than you need for printing) and large 'autofit' tables will adversely affect editing performance and documents with lots of links to other files will open slowly (especially over a slow network).
