Dave,

Though I can see that the build-up of lots of undoable things in a document can slow things down, something else must be at work as well. If you take 50-page document, do a "save as" to clear the undos and position the cursor somewhere on p. 25, then run this one-line script:

app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].spaceBefore="6pt"

to set 6 points of space at the top of the current paragraph, you'll see it takes quite a while (7 or 8 seconds on my PC). (Curiously, if you do this on p. 25 of a 25-page document, the script is very fast.) I've noticed that scripts created in Delphi don't suffer from this.

Jens: I don't think that there's a way to disable undo recording.

Peter
