Why is InDesign so slow when working with a large table?

[Document Geek]

I have a table, 47 rows by 7 columns, and each time I click in a cell, there is a 10 second lag time. This has been happening for years, on a bunch of different documents. Large tables are a nightmare to work with. Is there any fix for this?

Have you switched to latest versions of ID and OS ? Normally the move to 64bits should have improved things in that area.

Hi Document Geek,

I would like to know if the performance of the application is improved, or the issue still persists.

Kindly update the discussion if you need further assistance with it.

Thanks,

Srishti

I'm designing an annual report and having a huge problem with speed/lag time when working in tables. It is really frustrating. Any solve for this?

Known problem, reported many, many times to Adobe, here and directly in the pre release tests, bug logged many times with examples... t hey simple ignore it all.
