ok Chris, thanks for the tip, I didn't know about “Tools>Page Weight”.
I'm redoing every page and reducing the size as much as possible. I've got the index page down to 650kb but still not finished, possibly 700-800kb when complete.
250-350kb seems difficult if I want any detail in the photos......
