Tim,

welcome to the Logos user forums! I'm not an expert in reading logs, so this shows only an Out of memory to me. In most cases, for other users (or Logos employees who may pass by) to help you, the more information we get, the better.

does this happen with each and every PB you try to build, or only with a certain book?
if the latter, can you post it here or tell us more about it: how big, what language, are there Milestones in it, how was it produced...
did you save the book as RTF and reopen it in Word to save as DOCX (which will take away some XML quirks in the file)
can you add the PB log as well as a full diagnostic log (see
http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging for how to do this)

This info may help to track the error down.

I would add to NB.Mick's excellent suggestion to take your PB, and try to build one half of it, then the other. If one half or the other crashes and the other does not, continue to pare it down and see what is causing the problem. If both halves compile fine, put them back together and resave them as a "Save As" in docx format, and try again.

It could be that there is something inserted into the text that is causing this. There is likely not a size limit unless it's being built on a computer very undersized in memory, I have built PBs with 600+pages with no problem.

These are all good suggestions. I will also contact you via email with some troubleshooting steps to try.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help...I have emailed the logs to Hunter but have figured out that (when Dominick said that he had no problems with 600+pages) maybe I am using too many pages in my book (just over 10k pages).

I was trying to export an illustration database (36K illustrations) into word then into logos PBB. My computer handled the document but logos 4 crashed...maybe a tad too large to handle...Anyone know what the max limit on pages is?

Thanks again Tim

Tim do you want one of us to try your document on our machine, to see if it's a physical limitation of your computer? I have a 32GB computer running Logos if that helps.

Thanks but I may just play around a bit and split the book if needed.

If you want to take a look yourself here's the link http://www.holwick.com/

This is a database of 36k illustrations and heaps of sermon oultines, I have used it as an access database for some time now and found it quite useful (not all of the illustrations are good mind you) but theres a lot to choose from.

The site says that you can distribute freely (for the Gory of God) but do not charge.

Have fun.

Cheers

Tim
