File Size Too Large
[Split from this thread] Thank you very much guys... this problem is solved ! BUT, unfortunately I encounter now another problem: working on the headers/footers I suddenly got an Word error message telling me that the size of my file is too large... (error message attached); sorry but this message is in french as I am working on a french catalog. The file I was working on contains only 44 pages with plenty of illustrations for a total size of 12,5 Mo... Probably I can recover that file but I am afraid that when I will have to assemble all eight files (each about the same size) of the catalog it will give me troubles doing so in DocX format... perhaps it would be more appropriate tu work with PDF files ??? Can you please help to finalize the book ? Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 11-30-2019 at 03:22 PM. Reason: resize image |

Word should easily handle this size file. Consider inserting the images as links. However moving it to a different spot may cause problems.
If you have decent pdf editing software, combining pdf files can be far easier than combining Word files, especially if the Word files are not formatted using uniform styles. |

I though so... but, I tried already to save some of my files 'as PDF' in Word ; quite easy , but unfortunately this gave me slightly different layouts; doing si I will have lot of work to recover the original Docx layout ...
Is there another way to get FULLY identical PDF files ? (I have Acrobat DC installed) |

Start with identical Word files. Despite Microsoft's attempts, Word is not a simple program if you try to do long documents or editing by multiple people. That is because it has so many ways to tweak your text. If your files are based on the same template and use the same style definitions and do the formatting using those styles, it is relatively easy to combine Word documents in Word or convert them to pdf.
