Encountering slow navigation to a card containing very large fields? Do this one simple trick.

[Bob Sneidar]

Do you mean you made a group of the fields containing data, then used "Place Group" from the Objects menu on the summary card? If that is what you mean, then it stands to reason that all the work LC has to do in displaying what is now a Background Group on both cards which contains the very voluminous fields, is already done.

Once completed, the original imported text (field 1) remains in  its original form so that the user can click on a line in field 2 (i.e identified as containing a specific word or phrase) and then the text is selected and displayed in field 1  in its original context.  That works really well.
