I have a large, complex MacWrite (V4.5) document which contains headers (with an embedded MacDraw graphic), footers (with text), lots of text, and numerous large, complex MacDraw graphics which appear, in one size or another, on almost all pages. A previous chapter of this document was quite similar but the large, replicated MacDraw graphic was a bit less complex than the one in the current document. The PREVIOUS, less complex document printed on the Laserwriter with only a moderate amount of modifications (primarily vertically shrinking the graphic on several pages to make the page a bit smaller). HOWEVER, when I attempt to print the current, more complex document on the Laserwriter (it prints FINE on the Imagewriter), the Laserwriter thinks about the file for almost 25 minutes and only prints those few pages which do NOT contain the complex MacDraw graphic! Is there some bug, or hidden limitation, which should explain this behavior? Thanks.
