> Is there a way that I can reduce the render time for my graphics? Another thing that affects rendering speed is if you have the Insets pod open in your workspace when you open the document. If open, FM (9 and presumably 10) loads all the graphics when the file is opened-- so that it can populate that pod. (I think I remember the explanation Adobe gave me.) But then you can scroll quickly through the document without pauses to load each graphic. If the Insets pod is closed when the document is opened, FM loads each graphic only when you scroll through the document and encounter them. So one setting gives fast scrolling. The other gives fast opening of files.
Anyway, it does sound like FM is misbehaving for you, but perhaps changing the Insets pod situation will be a workaround for you.
