I forget the maximum character limit off hand (it is a file system limit, not an 
OS related one) but it is enough that it should never be an issue for any normal 
person.

There is no limit on the number of words, because the space character is a valid 
character in a filename.
The only limitation that I am aware of, is the number of characters in the complete 
path, and that limitation is somewhere near 256 characters.

The whole path is limited to 255 characters including foldernames, the filename and any / or 'space' characters. If you are writing to a CD or DVD you'll find the limit is signifcantly shorter (depends on the coding used). In NTFS itself, the limit is 32,767 characters, so applications which don't use the Windows shell can utilise much longer path lengths.
