Roy--

Two thoughts:

1. Try doing a save as every few pages. As your script executes, the undo queue gets larger and larger, consuming more and more disk space/RAM--and therefore slowing performance to a crawl. Doing a save as will clear the queue and start afresh. (I'd also consider checking disk space and drive fragmentation, and turning off any virus checking/auto-saving software you might have running--three things that do not go well with InDesign's writing temporary data to disk.)

2. Consider writing the text file as tagged text, then placing it in a series of linked text frames. Performance will improve by several orders of magnitude.

Thanks,

Ole
