    Cross references causing ID to bog down

    E Diane King Community Member

      I hope this is my last question for a while . . . I have a ID book document containing hundreds of cross references across several documents. Whenever I open one or more of the files, ID starts blinking the busy cursor at me (interspersed with a ready cursor that goes away before you can actually do anything).  This swirling busy cursor just goes and goes and goes--I suspect that the application is checking all the hundreds of cross references over and over again.  However, nothing is changing on those refs and the "checking" behavior is practically making InDesign useless. I can't do anything without waiting minutes for ID to finally calm down and let me click on something again.  Is there anyway to turn off that constant reference checking or maybe convert all the cross references to static hyperlinks so ID will operate normally?
