MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / June 2007HUGE Publisher file
A client of mine is working on a 302MB Publisher Pro 2003 file (it's a 5-year-old Precision 340), and her PC keeps locking up on her while working with it. She's got drive space limitations (1GB left of 20), but gets the same lockup issues with other computers in her office. I have an appt. with her today at 2PM, and will try to open it on a more robust machine in the office... Has anyone else made such a large Publisher file successfully? If so, how, and what are your hardware specs? I'm wondering if Publisher is the Thanks, Paul Lots of Pictures? Turn off detailed display (view, pictures).. Open a new publication, open the design checker options, choose your preferred options before opening your large file otherwise it may take forever to check. The Design Checker might help you understand the file size. I will say 302MB is large. Use to be a Publisher file could be 2GB, I'm sure it is around that size now. Depends on one's patience when opening the file. I remember the days when re-draws were the norm. Check to see if you can update your graphics/video driver.

When I would drag an object across the screen I could see every re-draw as it gradually moved to the new position. And these were just simple line drawings. But I never had a crash or freeze... all I needed was patience...lots of it.

I still have a bunch of them. My first draw program (Windows Draw by Microgafx) was wonderful. Harvard Graphics FX was good, but complicated. Sure beat bitmaps.

I like to think of it as maturing.
