If I remember correctly the max size attachment you can send is about 10MB, but because sent mail is a larger size than the original, due to the overheads, in practice you can only send attachments about 7.5MB in size.
Even though Word files are usually very compressible, getting 100MB down to 7.5MB is a tall order - not sure what the options are on the securezip freebie that Matth linked to, but you may need to look at the option some 'zip' programs have to divide the file into several smaller archives, which can be sent separately, then recombined.
