Bo:
Your instructions are excellent and remembered with surprising accuracy.
In addition one can step up or down the objects on the current layer with the bracket keys. When the edit window is open the stats of the object are displayed. Bogus numbers far off page are always suspect. When an obvious bogus object is reached sometimes a crash will occur even though the object is not on the screen. The object is also selected which means that it can be deleted if desired.
Once we had a file that crashed on the 255 object on a layer. There were a huge number of layers. Using the techniques that you described and stepping through the objects many times (50 or more) the object was identified and deleted with an immediate save.
Tenacity is required to save a file with problems. Most will be surprised at the number of green and growey things that live off page similar to the refrigerator.
Thanks.
Bill Stanley
