I must have been lucky since I've hit another limit.


I would recommend the Master Document functionality (which allows you to
link/manage numerous smaller documents under one master) but have found it
unreliable and scary.

Yes, that is scary.


In the end it might not solve your problem anyway but
you would have subdivided your large file into editable chunks. Come print
time, I don't know what would happen.

Thanks, but I'm not trying to edit ... I have the RTF coming out of Jade and just have to paginate and print.


I have *just* found out that the entire document (so far) is being read into Microsoft Word Viewer, and it seems I do get all the images and I can print ... so at least I know it isn't Jade's fault. I guess I'll have to use the viewer until I hit a wall there.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
