Why does tracking slow down when I make changes?

[Lady Editor]

I'm always in the Home tab, yet whenever I get near a big table or figure (I
edit large documents with many figures and tables), my editing slows way down
and at the bottom of the screen it says, Word is re-pagination. I minimized
the ribbon. Any suggestions? I'm on deadline and this is killing me.
Thanks.

If you can switch to Draft view, you won't get repagination until you
switch back to Print Layout view..
