When PageMaker 3.0 reads in a 1.0 document, it seems to go through a slow
process which probably entails the translation of the 1.0 data into a new and
improved format.  After that, saving the document in 3.0 format (with a .PM3
extension rather than .PUB) works fine, and subsequent loading of the 3.0
version of the document is plenty fast.

All that is fine.  Here is my problem.  I have one document which is
exceedingly big: approx 1.1 Meg!  PageMaker 3.0 simply cannot load it!  It
chugs away for a few minutes (disk busy also) and then displays the standard
error message for being unable for "translate" the document.

I noticed that the same error message came up with other 1.0 documents, but 
for a different reason: there was not enough temporary disk space.  After
freeing up some disk space, those docs loaded fine.

Anyone with some insight into this...*HELP* !
