after several pages. paid two other computer fellows to check unit as to
cause with no positive results. what can I do to proof this without all the
hassle?

800 pages is a very large Publisher document, but without some info on you
system, it's a little hard to judge whether or not your computer should be
able to handle it or it that's the cause of the problem.

Have you tried having the person who created it, divide it into two smaller
documents or they could save it as a PDF (Acrobat) file, which should be
much smaller and you could at least proof it.

An updated video/graphics driver might help too.
