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.
