Can you send me the file privately by email? That is probably the easiest thing. Otherwise, the usual way to try to solve this is to 'bisect': Delete half the document and see if it works then. If so, then the problem is in the other half, so restore that, delete the part you had kept before, etc. Keep going like this until you isolate what is causing the problem.
