ParticipantAgreeing with Dhafir. If the master spread has the same background on both sides, make two copies and have each ALMOST touch the center line. Zoom in and you can make the space unobservably small.
ParticipantFor me, the biggest culprit seems to be when I have both images with text wraps and elements that span multi-column text boxes. Things slow to a crawl. I have never found a solution — just the obvious workarounds.

September 11, 2024 at 6:02 am in reply to: How to Handle Large Image Files in InDesign Without Slowing Down? #14406312ParticipantWhat file format are your images? I recently had a situation with lots of what I thought were jpgs slowing things WAY down. I can’t remember whether they were saved as “JPEG 2000” or “Large Document Format”, but as soon as I switched them to normal files (jpg or psd) they were fine. Clearly INDD was having to generate preview thumbnails of very large images every time they were displayed.
ParticipantI got the same error message. But then all of my settings seem to have been preserved….
But then I got the Pantone error message. :/
ParticipantVery typical in my experience!
ParticipantCompress the file and give me a dropbox (or other) link here?
ParticipantRich, if David’s tips don’t do the trick, post the file and I’ll take a look. I do this all the time for poetry. Even though some poets insist on a full line of space!
ParticipantOnly you can answer that, given things like full bleed section openers, etc.
I would always start by Allowing Document Pages to Shuffle as the default and then deselect spreads individually as necessary.ParticipantFrom my experience it is best to “Allow document pages to shuffle” for multipage documents with a spine/gutter and only deselect “Allow spread to shuffle” only to build outside cover spreads with spine in between, the occasional foldout page, etc.
If you allow the spread that contains page 22 to shuffle It should at least enable adding the new pages in the expected fashion.ParticipantCaspian, I think I see what is going on. To Indesign, anything between spaces is one word, and with hyphenation turned off, it doesn’t know how to break the line.
But it looks like a few punctuation marks — period, underscore, right curly bracket, close paren — allow for a line break. (See line endings in your example on the left.)I’m not a programmer, so I’m not sure how to tell it to count 300 characters, but I believe that if you could count to 300 and then put a discretionary line break it will do the same thing. Or just a manual return, I guess.
Normally I would say that one shouldn’t justify monospaced type, but if you have the EXACT number of characters in each line, it looks like it retains the vertical alignment:

For me, everything I do when I teach is on the verge of embarrassing, but in your case I think there is a solution.
What about setting up keyboard shortcuts to open and close palettes? (File > Keyboard shortcuts, then choose Window Menu from Product area drop down)
I use about 8 or 10 of them for the palettes I use most often.
I even set up a keyboard shortcut to open my keyboard shortcuts.ParticipantI assume the prices are stacked so you need to use tabular figures? If not, using proportional lining figures would solve the problem, right?

“Paper” should only be used when you are printing on colored/tinted paper. It’s a means to help you see on screen how elements will appear. It does not get a printing layer. It will disappear even in a pdf. (From Mr. Blatner: https://creativepro.com/indesigns-paper-and-registration-colors/)
