140K words isn't large at all. I'm sure I've done WC, spell and grammar using Word 2002 on about that size with no problem on XP. I switched entirely to Writer a couple of years ago.
First used Word in Office 4.3 on WFW3.11 regularly, though I have used Word 2.0a on Windows before that.
Also no difficulty with that sort of size using a Wordstar Clone on CP/M and similar on DOS with 3rd party spell and grammar checking. I've used various actual Wordstar versions on CP/M and DOS and Wordperfect and MS Word on DOS too up till 1991.
