The easiest solution to slow book updates is to take a minute to use the Open All Files in Book command to open everything *before* you start doing book-level updates. Simply hold down Shift before pulling down the File menu, and you'll see that all the familiar single-file commands have changed to operate on "all files in book".
Just remember that you'll need to save all the files after doing the book update to refresh the page numbering and paragraph numbering as stored in the files.

When I update the book (or rename a file or update the file info etc.), this takes 1 to 2 minutes. That's _much_ longer than similar books. Printing, however, is normal. There aren't excessive numbers of cross-references in there. Only lots of tables. Everything is on my local drive. I already checked the MIF file. Nothing uncommon. Does anyone know why the book update takes such long? It seems as if each file in the book would be opened _very_ often. Probably the fastest would be to just recreate the book ...
