Default Equivalent command for repaginate now?

Hi,

Me again! I seem to recall when back when PCs were slow, a command (under
tools?) called repaginate now. The command forced Word to recalcuate page
breaks/numbering, well, now.

I'm waiting upwards of 30 seconds to see the changes I'm making to column
widths on a table (doc is 130 pages, I'm on a 1.8Ghz PC with 1 gig ram with
not much else running).

Can I speed this up at all? (before I go insane!)

Thanks

Paul

This response time is not normal, unless your document is spectacularly
complex. You need to find what's wrong, either with the document itself (is
the table corrupt?) or with your installation (do you have background
add-ins running?).

Hi,

The document is long (130 pages) with many tables (each no more than one
page inlegnth) , but I don't think it is very complex. The delay has dropped
to around just 5 seconds now, so not great, but not quite so frustrating.

Oddly, I can carry on working (typing, formatting, etc) and eventually the
table wdiths will jump into place.
