Hello...

I can confirm Takamitsu's problem. I have the same now I've updated to 
NWP 1.4.2 on my G5 (OS X 10.5.8). It takes 'hours' to open even just a 
2-page document. The beachball is spinning and spinning... It nearly 
doesn't matter if the doucment is 2 pages or 100 pages.

When I switch to OS X 10.4.11 on the same G5 with NWP 1.4.1 there are 
no problems opening even huge files containing heavy formatting such 
like +50 page tables etc..

Opening a new file is very fast both with NWP 1.4.1 aqnd 1.4.2 in both 
OS X 10.4.11 as well as 10.5.8.

Cheers, Erik Richard
