[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1623426, member: 46727"] You didn't provide us with any specs regarding your Mac or which version of OS X you're running, so my answer is very general. It sounds like you do not have enough system memory to open the document or maybe enough hard drive space so that OS X can create virtual memory (a swap file). MS Office uses lots of memory and the larger a document is, more memory will be consumed. Make sure you close all other programs and start up applications, reboot, and try again. If that doesn't work, start in safe mode and see if you can open the document that way. [/QUOTE]
