Hello Again, Andrea et. al.  I am still battling with my graphics shrinking problem (the second note below).  I am attaching a screen shot showing the result and my memory settings.  This shrinking only happens when i scroll through the document, not if I stay in one place, but it is consistent and seriously impeding my work.  If anyone has a tip I would greatly appreciate it!  Also the whole doc is 1.8 mb, so I assume my settings are sufficient?  
Thanks so much!!

The size of the file is after compression, when you open the file the size could be substantial larger.
100 undo steps could eat a lot of memory depending on the changes you made, if you moved / changed the graphic a couple of times it could use more memory than you expect.
