InDesign CS5.5 crashes when generating index


hello everyone.  have been working on 232 page catalog , have been indexing i've went along.  catalog (232 pages) book file.  when generated index before seemed take long time, got through , had no problems.  1 day, randomly, decided wasn't going work anymore , crashes when re-generate index.

 

i have tried add documents @ sections @ time see if might particular file, tests have been inconclusive.  have catalog separated 8 sections (32 pages each) added 1, 2, 3, 4, , 5 generating index after each addition.  got section 5 , still okay.  when added section 6 crashed.  tried generating section 6 , fine.  generated sections 1-5, , 7 , still crashed!  i've done every possible combination of index generating , i'm getting desparate.  not want have indexing work on entire section of catalog wasted.

 

is having similar problem?  if narrowed down 1 section, greatly.  have x refs in documents contained within section 4 (which had no problems generating).

 

i'm assuming problem lies within section 6 or 7, generated them , index generated without problem.

my indesign crashed couple of months no apparent reason and, whenever tried resume same activity doing when crashed, crashed again! wasn't creating index adding photos. bascially, had copy , paste of data new document. worked. pain, because had copy master pages, style sheets, blah, blah worked. think happens files corrupted if keep crashing. you're better off grabbing data , creating new doc. pain, know but....

 

good luck! getting indexes, btw.
