No nothing has changed with the timestamps, and saving then re-loading
still makes no change.

Yes, that's the main reason I sent it to you to. It was produced using
Ovation Pro on RISC OS, and also using a bunch of other RISC OS
software such as ArtWorks, Photodesk, DPlngScan, plus a few custom
ones of my own. I've done some other books since that one, also in
OPro but nothing as big only 80 to 100 pages.

Yes, that's it - Fantastic!
With 'Check for missing fonts' unselected it now loads in a
staggeringly fast time of 5.47 seconds. Which is a massive improvement
compared to waiting almost 5 minutes. Thank you so much for that
suggestion, it makes the prospect of doing the volume 2 much more
appealing.
There's about 125 ArtWorks files in the book, all containing large
JPEG images, which now I think of the loading process and each one
having to be scanned for fonts, it's no wonder it was taking so long
to open the document.
