    Can InDesign CS2 handle long document layout without crashing?

    cgrscott Community Member
      In the past, when I laid out a long book of 250 pages or more, my older versions of InDesign (1.5 and 2.0.x) would crash hopelessly and I would resort to laying out the book in Quark Xpress. I have laid out some 100+ page books in InDesign CS and had a stable experience.

      Now I have to lay out a 600 page book and I'm using InDesign CS2 (4.0.5) under Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 on a Dual Processor G4 with 2 GB of RAM.

      Has anyone had good experiences laying out long books with InDesign CS2 for the Mac doing books with 400-600 pages?

      IDCS2 has been the most stable version of InDesign I have ever used but I have not tried long document layout with it yet.
