I'd never in a thousand years create a single file with that much content. 
Not because FM cannot handle it, but because I'd be afraid that at any 
point, the file could become corrupted (my favoritge is the message about a 
file not being the right number of k in size).

Currently, my biggest FM file is 91MB. It's only 18 pages or so, but it is 
from an imported Word file with lots of graphics, I'm slowly replacing the 
graphics with references, but it isn't high on my priority list. 
Anyway...I've dealt with large files, so I don't see that as an issue. My 
guess is that it is corrupted, but that could have happened with any file 
size. I guess it's time to go to your backup of the file an redo the work 
from there.
