Computing in general
Hi,
Thanks for the input...i also have a lot of jpg's in the document. I'm up to 170 pages (and nowhere near half done) and the file is almost 3 MB. I did split the appendices into separate documents, so i'm going to try to keep the rest of the document in one file.
How're things going for you?
