Hello,

for a larger project involving a few partners from different countries,
we started to use OpenOffice Writer instead of Microsoft Word.
Unfortunately, we regret this move now - mostly due to stability
problems e.g. moving images freezes OpenOffice Writer. Several partners
(using the latest OO-version) have serious problems updating the
document due to these problems. This is a significant problem, because
time is rare and we have to face deadlines. It is not a small document
with 80 pages, including several images and tables. The initial version
of the document is a Word file, which was converted to OpenDocument (by
simply saving as such in OpenOffice). Could this be a source of
problems? It is an internal document, so I cannot circulate it in the
public.

In case the stability problems are not a problem of OpenOffice in
general, but "caused" by the document itself: Is there a way to "clean"
the document, i.e. a tool to remove any possibly superfluous,
deprecated, or otherwise problematic stuff in the odt file (or better:
the XML files contained in it)? I'd be willing to lose some markup if it
helps to overcome the problems.

Do you have any other suggestions (waiting for the next release is not
an option)?

Kind regards,

Jens
