Excel/Word open dialog limitations

We are running into a problem attempting to open or save files through the Word/Excel file/open or file/SaveAs menu into two particular directories on our server.

When you switch to the directories in question, the dialog will freeze while showing the list. We removed some empty directories and the problem is gone. Add them, and it returns.

So it appears as if we've hit a limit in Office about how many objects can be displayed in that dialog. It appears as if we will lock at 523 total objects. But that's not always true. It seems to depend on the type of file it is.

Can anyone point me to a resource with the different limitations within Office?
