I thank you for the suggestion. It is proving somewhat hard to 
(dis)confirm. I have made a testfile with just the word "test" pasted over 
and over again, with and without various formatting and with the same 
length or longer as the proper papers. This file consistently works. But 
when I attempt to do it with a regular research paper, it only works if I 
shorten it. Curiously, I can remove either half of the main text, or indeed 
sections here and there, randomly, and it works, but not with all of them 
present. I have combed it for special characters or tags, but cannot find 
any.
