PUB2000: Maximum Publication File Size

This article was previously published under Q212622

SUMMARY

The maximum file size for a Microsoft Publisher publication is 2 gigabytes (GB) or (2,149,580,800 bytes). The file size of OLE objects does not count in this total. If you link or embed objects to your publication, that publication could theoretically have a file size that is greater than 2 GB.

MORE INFORMATION

Publisher can handle 65,536 object handle values, where object handles are memory holders for things such as file handles, undo, clipboard objects, and open publications. Some Publisher objects require more than one object handle in memory, such as a graphic where one object handle is used for the frame and another is used for the actual imported graphic. Publisher counts each of the following items as one object:
  • One page
  • One story (one or more text frames linked together)
  • One picture frame
  • One line
  • One OLE frame
Thus a one-page publication that contains three linked text frames, one picture frame, and one drawn line would contain five objects.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
