Hi DH,
Here's the response I got:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't think this is related to the Disk is Full issue. Since he seems to
have narrowed the problem down to a set of graphics in the document, my
guess would be that there is a problem with one of the graphics or a couple
of them. It could have been a problem in the source file of the graphic, I'm
not sure. My recommendation would be for him to remove the graphics and add
them in again from the source files, one at a time until the problem repros.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give it a try and let us know what happens. Hope this helps.
