Here are facts in all this, and hoping someone can help me come up with an idea as to why it's crashing and what to do:
1) Sent my CS5 to someone in the IDML because she has CS4. She did the Index for me, and sent back to me. Crashing starts. Index issue??? If so, what??
2) Crashing occurs when I'm trying to make changes in text: when I press delete at the top of the page (to bring back page which pushed over to next page), when I try to delete a section, changing the font of a heading, doing the 4th bullet of four items (first three bullets were fine; fourth one crashes me), doing a full return to add a space (very common reason for crashing), etc.
3) I have been unable to make another CDML–it stops about 45 pages from the end on “Graph 50”. I looked at my errors–found a huge body in inset on the page right about Graph 50 that I didn't need. Got rid of the inset. Could the crashing be from something in Graph 50 alone?
4) Trying to do Split Story crashes Indesign
5) Crash report–does it have something to do with the “library”???
