Iam trying to paste a large amount of data (very long list of keywords at least 125-150 pages) into word but it freezes on me. I am trying to figure out how to get it not to freeze on me.

BTW, if you are copying these data from website, try paste them with Paste Special - Keep Text Only.

You haven't mentioned the version of Word and that's important because if it is Word 2011 for the Mac then the problem might be Smart Copy Paste that you'll have to disable.

If these are full documents you might try using the Insert > File function instead of copy/paste. Again, depending on your Office version where you find that function on the ribbon or toolbar varies.

I can't do it with one letter, let alone large data. It pauses on a simple highlight to cut and paste or spelling error.

Which version of Word are you using?

Does it make a difference which source you are copying from, or does Word freeze even if you paste a single letter from one Word document to another?
