BTW, if we determine that it really is some sort of limit that would require some major upgrade to your computer or software, there are possible work-arounds. 

For example, although it goes against common recommendations about rasterized vs vector layers, you can try this:  Once you've got the overall look of the document the way you want, enter small sections of the text (ie, as small as your installation of PS can handle), rasterizing and flattening each of these sections as you go, each onto their own layers (with layer fx and transparent backgrounds).  If you have lots and lots of characters (ie, vector objects), it's quite possible that a few more sparsely populated rasterized layers may be tolerated better than huge number of vectors (ie, each character), especially if you can merge many of the other layers.

HTH,
