Heya everyone, would really appreciate some help with this one, I'm starting to get very frustrated with this. Whenever I try to place an image onto my document, whether its a massive PDF or a tiny JPEG, the place function takes absolutely ages, in fact I've never been able to wait long enough for it to work. I've just tried to place a 350kb JPEG, and its been around 15 minutes; all that's happened is the place 'loading' bar has come up and has been running this whole time. Previously I thought it was because I was trying to place a large file so I sat down and knitted, it had been 45 mins and it still hadn't worked so I restarted the program and got the same result again. I've only been able to 'fix' it by force quitting the program and copy/pasting all my content onto the document (which as you can expect is massive because of this). Would really appreciate if anyone knows whats going on and how I can fix it thanks!

I use "Place" quite often. Is there a short cut for this? If not how can I make one?
