[softwarelist] OPro seeming slow

here's me still slogging on this abatross book job.  (it's not about 
seafaring birds, it's just been hanging around my neck for a year.)

at the moment i'm copying individual picture captions from their 
temporary location all on p.2 to their proper spots next to embedded 
pictures.

for each operation, OPro freezes the machine for 90 seconds -- it 
gives no hourglass or other indication of doing anything, just twiddle 
thumbs and wait for iconbar clock to jump to correct time, which is 
the only clue that OPro has finished.  i presume OPro is reflowing the 
rest of the document or something.  tedious.

is this normal, or is there something i should adjust?

7.5M in file, 78,000 words, 312 pages in 13 chapters.
using OPro 2.77 on a StrongArm RiscPC with OS 4.39.

as you can probably tell, i'm still an OPro novice.  this is the first 
time i've used it for a job of this size.
