At least the Notes problem should be easier to fix as this will be reimplemented anyway. Using the rtl::OUString here should be easier then it is for the whole Writer code base. > In these cases you can't just insert a paragraph break somewhere. > These are hard limits that require considerable programming effort to > work around.

I understand why 64K text is too small for a Basic module. I still don't see why a paragraph in a text must be bigger. Perhaps you should show a real life example and explain why this feature is so important. I still don't understand it, sorry.
