Reply To: Created a 212 page book as "document" vs. "book"

Working on a 440+ pp book as we speak. Single document. I’d avoid the book panel if at all possible. It adds an unnecessary level of complexity and fiddlyness (is that a word?) that is best avoided. No problem indexing a single document.

If InDesign goes slow, make sure each chapter in the book is its own story, and not one single, long, threaded story spanning 200+ pages! Avoid too many anchored objects, and any use of span/split columns, or columns in general, can cause serious slowdowns as well….
