Publisher - Running Extremly Slow

[Sun2Son]

Hello,

Wierd - I've got a 220 page book in AP. PC Speed was never an issue - until yesterday.

I searched the forum and found a thread from 2021 - suggestion was to hold the ctrl key down while starting - and the 'Clear User Data' window appears. Three boxes are checked in that window.

1 - Clear User Defaults  (what does this mean? I'm GUESSING it will wipe out the custom Text Styles,  paragraph settings etc - and I don't want to do that and start from scratch)

2 'Don't restore Window and Documents  (no clue what this means - but I centainly don't want to lose 220 pages)

3. ' Reset Studio'  (again - no clue - maybe return all settings back to default?)

I looked in the Help DOCS - did a search for 'Clear User Data' - found zero info explaining what each of these options are....

So I come to the wise ones for  for help.

TIA,

John K

Hi John, here's a FAQ for v1 that addresses this question.

Hi Mike,

Thx for the link. I'm hardly a tech genius but the descriptions for the 3 Items don't lead me to believe that 'clearing' them will speed up PC (which has mysteriously stopped acting slow when Aff Publisher is open).  At last now I can move forward - thx!
