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.
On the whole OP is quick, it can re-flow text as fast as Impression and it does it in the background.
But there have been situations in which things are slow, some of them have been fixed some remain.
From your description it doesn't sound like you're doing anything particularly unusual.
Oh hang on, lets say you *move* (copy+delete aka cut) a frame from page 2 to page 300. OP has no choice other than to reflow everything between pages 2 and 300, because it needs to know what page 300 is going to look like before it pastes the frame there.
So a work around would be to copy from page 2 to page 300. Then delete everything from page 2 at the end of the day.
Note that you can drag and drop frames (copy and move) and that you can have more than one window open on a document (one on page 2, one on page 300).
But then again how are you doing this copying, via the clipboard? -- David Pilling email: david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.davidpilling.net post: David Pilling P.O.
