John -

Glad to hear that you're enjoying one of the hallmarks of FrameMaker.  In the 
"for whatever it's worth" category (ITFWIWC, "IHT-fwik" for those of you who 
are "into" acronyms, I made that one up) . . .

In 2004-10, I used unstructured FrameMaker and produced a software version 
description that contained a table of 13 390 rows on 484 pages of size A4 paper.

Once I sorted out the content, which was plain-text, to go into the table, I 
copied the content and pasted it into FrameMaker.  As I recall, it took 
FrameMaker about 20 minutes to take in all of that and put it into a table.  
After that, it took me fewer than five minutes to make to some relatively-minor 
adjustments to the table.

And as you indicated, FrameMaker didn't even "breathe hard," let alone "break a 
sweat" or crash.

FrameMaker showed another of its hallmarks when it correctly handled the 
numbering of all those rows and the various instances of special numbering 
elsewhere in the work product.  Sweet.

Back then, I used Shlomo Perets' TimeSavers to help produce the portable 
document format file that was the deliverable.  Sweeter.

Done, done, done, and done.  Sweetest.

Subject: [Framers] 114pp table

Through a series of misadventures, I find myself these days working in a file 
with a table about 2000 rows long. Framemaker's not crashing!  I am not doing 
anything fancy like merging cells, but I sort the content, add and remove rows 
and columns, search and replace, etc, and Framemaker's not crashing.
That's a great improvement over table behavior in older versions.
Just thought you ought to know 😀
