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.

Your solution of printing the book to a junk file sounds workable. Don't forget though, that if your document has reached the stage where you're not actually working with the graphics themselves, you can simply turn off the display of graphics (View > Options > Graphics). You'll see the anchored frames' borders (if view borders is enabled), but there's no loading of remote files at all.
