Hi.
I mean: I am inserting graphs, texts, formatting heavily the text, inserting pages, etcetera, in a 400 pp file.
How to do this in order to avoid ID, each moment, recomposing and spending a lot of time in it?
The document ideally should not be fragmented in a «book» option although I really don'y know if that must be the path.
I do prefer to be jumping easily from one chapter to another, to control new changes or ideas...
Thanks.
Hi,

Think it is not a hardware malfunction. The document is a threaded galley with 7 chapters. Simply, inserrting or editing text means to wait some seconds (15-20 or more...).
In an illustrated book with dozens of photographs the machine is very solvent. Just in these files with text + editing the problem is visible.
Perhaps converting the document to a book may be a solution but preferred to consult here...
Thanks.

Make sure Preflight is turned off, and, you would of course get better performance if the document was broken up into chapters and managed as a book file. You could still jump chapter-to-chapter easily without having such a big draw on your system memory.
Also, if you're using a recent CC version, be sure to disable the 2 settings under Type Contextual Controls in Preferences > Advanced Type.

John,
Thanks. It seems book files menu is the path here.
I was looking to stop ID recomposing in this editing process.
Best regards.
