Continuous repagination on 500+ page document
I have a 500+ page document. I must stop and wait for repagination almost
every time I do anything. ie. search for a bookmark, add a comment etc. The repagination process takes about 1 minute, so each day I end up wasting about 2 hours of work just waiting for repagination to complete. Is there a way to turn off repagination, besides working in normal view? I must work in Print Layout view. Or could my document be corrupt? If so how can I fix it? BTW I have close to 300 comments added to this document, and Track Changes is turned on, and almost every line in the document has changes to it. So, maybe I have exceeded MS Word 2003's limits ??? Thanks in advance! John |

Continuous repagination on 500+ page document
*Why* must you work in Print Layout view? Work in Normal view with
pagination switched off then revert to Print Layout to paginate when you have finished the bulk of the editing. With this type of editing, it is inevitable that the document will repaginate every time you make a change and a long-ish document is going to take time to repaginate. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John Owens wrote: I have a 500+ page document.

Continuous repagination on 500+ page document
Thanks for your quick reply Graham!
Well I have thousands of edits and 300+ comments in this document, so if I view using Normal View while displaying tracked changes it will be to confusing as all the additions, deletions and modifications are shown in the body of the document instead of off to the side like is done in Print view. Even if I turn on display of tracked changes, which I can sometimes do, quite often I will need to view the changes again. So, when I turn back on display, then I have to wait 1-2 minutes for repagination to complete. Anyway, it seems that my doc must have been corrupt because I took the advice of one of the threads here and saved the file as an HTML and then re-opened the file and saved it as a doc. Not it works fine. Thanks anyway for your help. Best regards, John "Graham Mayor" wrote: *Why* must you work in Print Layout view?
