Thanks Frans Can I take your suggestions one by one? I'm using the latest version of InDesign. When you say 'not fully patched to the latest version of InDesign', do you mean our company may not be running the latest server software? I don't have a GPU option in InDesign Preferences. Possibly because I'm on a PC, not a Mac? Yes, I know setting the display to Typical speeds up the navigation process, which I do when looking at overall views. I have to admit, though, because of the detailed work I often produce (and the way the designer half of my brain works) I far prefer to see zoomed in elements in high resolution. Moving images to a local disk would be massively impractical, complicated and time consuming in our working environment. (I also curate our in-house image library -- which has thousands of images on the server -- that are required by a couple of different designers on misc projects each day.) Thanks for the IDML tip.
