Lo guys for my uni work I have been creating a photographic portfolio
using word (god knows why =/).

well, we sure don't! :-/


now it wont let me open the file to
finish or even view it as it is over 512mb despite the fact i saved it
using word - if any1 is able to help me with a way of opening, or
viewing the file so i can print it, it would be a big big help as i
have spent a long time creating it.

there's still a maximum file size limitation in Word, but it only
applies to the raw text amount:

So, in essence, the file _should_ be openable unless it's corrupt. At
least on a powerful system (best bet: on a powerful system that created
the file).

Did you insert the photos into Word, and/or link them? What version of
Word are you using? What error message?
