I wrote my first book OO --
and hated it. When I reached 67,000 words, I had to split the book into
two sections and save them as part 1 and part 2. OO would freeze up
often and I would lose valuable work each time. It happened with such
regularity that I thought of forsaking the OO suite and submitting to
the Microsoft. What sucked worse is that, since OO is free, I really
couldn't complain. I mean, I could, but who would have the balls to tell
someone, "Hey! This free gift you gave me sucks ass!" That's not my
style.
But with the release of OO 3.4, my problems are a thing of
the past. Once again, I LOVE OO!!! Currently, I don't not have the money
to support the project, but when I do, I will gladly contribute!
KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

Have you learned how to use Master Book for tasks like writing
books like yours? This will permit you to write the chapters of the book
in separate ODT files. Master Book then puts all the chapters into one unit.
A couple of other possibilities are: your computer may need more
RAM, or you should change the settings in Tools -> Options ->
OpenOffice.org -> Memory.
Here are the Memory settings that I use when writing long
documents: Number of steps, 20; Use for OpenOffice.org, 256 MB; Memory
per object, 1 MB; Remove from Memory after, 1:00 (1 hour); Number of
objects, 252. I use quite a few graphics in my writing, and that is the
reason for the object settings. If you don't use graphics, you could
probably reduce the settings for objects.
