Tip for loading remote imported graphics quicker

Here's a tip for anyone in my situation. Hope this helps other out
there.

Problem: My graphics are imported and stored another server, while frame
is on another PC. As a result, the loading time for graphics is
wretched, and each page in the document with a graphic in it would cause
the hourglass to appear, and each page would take a bit to load.

Solution: Since putting frame and the graphics on the same computer is
not an option, I found the next best thing is to:

1. Open the book.
2. Open each file in the book.
3. Select Print Book
4. Select Print to File
5. Create a file (that lives until the book is completed) called
delete_me.ps
6. Select Print.
7. Get some coffee - and the result is that it accomplishes the loading
of all of the graphics in the entire book, removing delays when
scrolling pages.

If there is a better way, let me know. But this is a significant
improvement for me - and hopefully for others in my situation.
