"This is a great file.  I was actually going to share it with someone else yet it seems it is missing from the SMART Exchange.  I looked for a while but could not find it."

"One way in the meantime to deal with the slow loading would be to open your NB files in advance (if you can do that) and just minimize them.  Then just maximize the file you need from the bottom of the screen.  Regarding the FULL Page view…"
