Problems comparing large books: due to memory issues--or what?

[rebecca officer]

You could also use a text editor to compare the MIF files. That'd get text changes, including changes in tables.

Marilyn,

Since you don't need to compare the Visio's (which I assume are treated 
as graphics), you could try turning off display of graphics in both 
files (View > Options > Show Graphics [I think -- going by memory, but 
the shortcut is Alt+V, o, Alt+I]) before trying the compare.

HTH,
