That depends on how you define usable. Word might handle a 25 page
document. The experience of many of my friends has been that big
documents (25 pages is not big) are a real pain Word. One friend of
mine did his thesis (350-400 pages) in Word. Once he got past 100 or
150 pages, he was constantly fighting with it. The TOC would get messed
up, it would screw up formatting and sectioning and lots of other
issues.
