Paste from Word - Stack overflow exception

[Damian]

When using Paste from Word with a large document (see attachment). The editor hangs and causes a stack overflow exception in IE. As usual, worst offender is IE6.

The test case is to select the content of the Word doc and paste it into the Paste from Word dialog.

I see that there are two issues here:

1. The editor cannot handle the size/complexity of this document.
   
2. The editor needs to handle situations like this more gracefully, notifying the user that the doc is too large etc.
   

What the restrictions in case (1.)?

I can't reproduce this issue with Office2003/IE6/WinXP. Installing Office 2003 to another computer to test it with IE7 and 8.

Confirmed, I was able to get the browser to hang with IE8.

This is not actually related to the document size. It's was a problem in our parser when handling the terribly bad HTML generated by Word and accepted by IE. I've added a new test case that illustrates this case.

Fixed with [3694].
