Navigation pane causes typing input to lag
Navigation pane being open on large document (880 pages, many headers) causes typing input on main page to lag. Is it my document's bug or general limitation?

The more pagination being changed by your typing, I would expect the greater the lag.
Does it help if you change the number of levels displayed in the Navigation Pane?
Word for Windows or Word for Mac or are you (shudder) trying to edit this document in the browser program? These are actually three different programs with three different Navigation Panes.

Document is 17 MB in size, so mostly text. LOTS of headers. The lag started to be noticeable just about 300 pages before.
