SC stalls trying to Preview columnar layout

[Manderfield]

SC 2.748 stalls (hourglass) trying to go to Preview mode w/ columnar layout. I'm trying to display 8 mini-images across, 3 rows down on a ledger size sheet. Started working on Letter size, but won't in Ledger page size.

Curiously: app is not hung...web users can still access remotely, but I need to restart FMPro to get me back.

Any suggestions?

It looks like you may just be hitting some slowdown in filemaker when trying to load all of those java applets. Try use the style=noapplet parameter, which will skip the java applet loading. This should give you increased performance.

style=noapplet, along with specifying width, height & resolution all did the trick to preview MUCH faster. I gave up on the tabloid sheet size for now. Thanks.
