1. You do not need a 64-bit program.
2. Make regular backups. See Automatically backup Word documents by Graham Mayor, MVP

3. Try one-at-a-time to add your chapters at the end.

Q: "What format are the big ones in and what resolution are they saved in?"

A: The pics are .jpg and saved at the highest quality level. Moreover, many of these images are large pages, from other text documents. I feel it is important that readers to be able to read some of the original literature - rather than just accept my interpretation.



Q: "...If they are photos, 200dpi is the maximum resolution that should be needed,..."

A: You could be right....I forgot about the publisher's need. So, I will investigate that, tomorrow.



Q: "You do not need a 64-bit program."

A: You could be right.



Q: i) "Try one-at-a-time to add your chapters at the end."

ii) "It is possible to work with separate docs but I would keep it combined if you are the only author and you keep plenty of backup copies."

A: i) I am the only author.



ii) "One-at-a-time"?

What is that?

Do you mean that I should keep the chapters as individual files and then, when they are ready, I should merge/attach them, somehow?

If "yes", then how?



iii) How could I "combine" the finished chapters?



Q: "Make regular backups."

A: I routinely make backups. So far, I have lots of them.



Please reply.
