Jim - as far as I can remember, this is a known bug caused by imported
EPS graphics that's been present since at least V 5. I don't seem to
have a note of the specific cause, or a workaround, other than turning
off graphics display when you don't need it.


If this is indeed the same bug, Rick Quattro has a plug-in that fixes
it. Here's his comments from last time round, to save him having to type
them in again ;-)

Windows only, and I think you are on the Mac. If you have FrameScript
for the Mac, I can write a script that will basically duplicate its
functionality. For details on what needs to be changed in the document,
go to my Plugins page and click the RunaroundNone link. If you have to,
you can save your documents as MIF and fix them in the MIF code.

With a script, you can loop through all of the graphics in a document
(or book), and change the Runaround property. You can also do this by
changing the MIF file. You can search for this

script can be set to automatically change it to Don't Run Around
whenever you import a graphic. This prevents the problem from
reoccurring going forward.
