InDesign CC file freezes at 66% when exporting to IDML (Mac and PC)

Question

Hi,
I'm using InDesign CC (9.1) and attempting to export an indd document to idml. However, it freezes at 66% and never completes.
FWIW, I've deleted chunks of text to see at what point it does successfully export and have found a point at which it does work — after deleting a lot of text until you hit the middle of a word.
I read about there being a possible memory space issue but I see the exact same behavior in both the Mac and PC versions of InDesign CC.
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?

If you re-defined Basic Paragrpaph in the original file, you'll need to fix that, too. Styles and swatch definitions use the destination defintions, if they already exist, and I guess Layers might be have the same.
I'm not sure what you are running inside the Automatication plugin -- only glanced at it briefly, but it looks likea way to organize and chain find/change queries. If I have that right, you may find you can also use Peter Kahrel's Query Manager (http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/chain_queries.html) or one of the many "fix-up" scripts to correct Word formatting. I'm fond of Jongware's PrepText script (http://indesignsecrets.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting.php). Because these are both scripts rather than plugins they should work in CC if you put them in a Scripts panel subfolder for earlier version scripts if they don't run natively. Sub foler names would be like Version 7.0 Scripts or Version 6.0 Scripts to make ID interpret as CS5/5.5 or CS4, respectively. The folder name is case sensitive.
