Handling Large FrameMaker Books

[bryan johnson]

adding to Pappy's response... i've noticed Frame doesn't like it when you bury files within multiple sub-folders. (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\2009\Projects\Newstuff\sourcefiles\dtpfiles\framemakerfiles\morestuff\maybenow\not yet\almost there\here we go\file.fm
 
try unburying...

Are you opening all the files in the book before you do the book-wide commands? 

650 pages isn't all that big. We have Frame book files that are nearly 3000 pages.
