--- Comment #11 from John <[email protected]> --- (In reply to orcmid from comment #9) > (In reply to John from comment #8) > > Please say more. Let me refer you to some forum posts (I searched for my replies using the word "tangled"). Some posts huploaded files which can be examined. Incidentally, in the first (footnotes), the problem was resolved by the copy/paste, so perhaps "discarding the garbage" takes place at the decision of "what to copy" or the decision of "what to paste". [Solved] Changing Automatic default footnote anchor symbol at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82900&hilit=+tangled. Tsis post uploaded a .odt file with Chinese characters (thought to be the Chinese equivalent of 1, 2, 3...)for footnote anchors. Saving the document kees the Chinese characters. But copying the contents to a new document changes the Chinese characters to Roman numerals 1, 2, 3 etc. Note the "correction" appears after the paste - and the corrected file is saved with Roman numerals. Yet another book layout question - sorry! at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=76882&hilit=+tangled says "Somewhere around 80-100 pages of included document, formatting starts crashing, behaving randomly, losing graphics, losing frames, etc., all the individual ills mentioned in so many questions here. " One responder suggested "Although I'm new to OO, having been an assembler (machine code) programmer for a typesetting company in my younger days, I was immediately struck by your symptoms. My view is that the developers of OO didn't expect such a large and complex work to be generated using OO. From experience, it was usually that my internal storage/buffers were too small, (and that I think is your problem); even when I thought they could never get bigger - they did! Writing programs to process words and their associated typesetting data, in one program I had to expand my buffer for single word to around 500 bytes" The advice given was to remove all formatting and re-format from scratch and the user reported "I did take the advice to start over, and building things from the first page to the last seems much more stable ... I'm over 100 pages, and past any prior problem lengths." Backspace causes a change in the font at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81329&hilit=+tangled. The user uploaded his file. I posted "Your file has 59 Paragraph styles, 24 Text styles and 50 List styles. content.xml, where all the text and styling is managed, is 104 kBytes. My "untangled" (ie paste into a new document) version of your file has 1 Paragraph style. content.xml is 49 kBytes. Cannot save large file at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81788&hilit=+tangled. This user was advised to paste to a new document. He did not comem back ... [Solved] Compressing size of an odt containing large images at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81238&hilit=+tangled. A second poster came into the thread with "I have the same problem with file size. Mine is a Writer file where I've copied & pasted interesting technical information, including large images, from websites over many many years. Now it has come to the point where it takes 5 minutes to save and is extremely slow to move from page to page. I don't want this document to be a .pdf file or in a zip folder or divided into parts, as I'm adding to it almost daily". AFter copying the content to a new file the user reported "I'm amazed at the improvement of the second file after I saved the contents of the original into a new file ('removing the tangles')" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
