I have noticed that OOo can be slow loading even when the quick-starter app is loaded whether you're opening a large document or none at all. First time load of Writer or Calc for me typically takes 20 - 30 seconds. The corresponding MS applications load in 2 - 3 seconds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
