Congratulations on the self-teaching! That's how most of us learned the program. :D

There is a free script that can split up a long ID file into multiple ID files, it's worth a try.

The script is here: https://www.scriptopedia.org/in…..Pages.html

I first wrote about it here: https://creativepro.com/fre…..  (Many comments on this post, some from the script writer, so it'd be good to skim through these so you can see any glitches that might occur.)

If you've never installed a script or used one, it's pretty simple: https://creativepro.com/how…..design.php

If the script doesn't work, the old school way would work, which would be to open a copy of the catalog (just in case), delete all of the pages except the first 20 or 30 (your first section), and then choose Save As and give it a name (catalog sec 1); then re-open the full catalog copy and delete all of the pages except for pp 31-60 (or however section 2 would lay out), then Save As section 2; and so on.
