You should check /Tools/ Options /OpenOffice Writer : View and make sure Display : Graphics is checked. You should also adjust /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : Memory and increase the memory allocation to 256MB, decrease number of undo steps to 10 or 20, and adjust the other settings based on the information in this Forum post https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=314079#p314079 It may be that your document has too many or too complex images, in which case you have a number of choices. Firstly, if your output is standard print, your photographic images need be no finer resolution than 180/210 dpi - anything more cannot be perceived by the eye under normal viewing conditions. Graphics, such as line drawings, can with advantage be 600 dpi. Secondly, it may be that your total use of images is exceeding the memory allocations, in which case I suggest splitting your document into smaller chunks, each containing a smaller count of images - be advised by the above posting. > > Problem #2: When I am working in v.4 the program “SHUTS DOWN”, or “CRASHES”. > When I restore I lost the work I did prior to crash...... > Can someone PLEASE HELP. This happens approximately every 20 minutes when I > am manipulating the style. More importantly, you need to cure the crashing. The standard cure is to recommend that (even on an unstable new installation) the User Profile be deleted or renamed. Details are given in https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 This cures a surprisingly large proportion of OpenOffice problems. If that doesn't cure your instability, you need to start Windows in Safe Mode, and see if OpenOffice runs stable in that mode. If it does, you have to look for interference from some other program/driver/service running on your computer when it is started in Windows normal mode. Once you have defined your styles you should not need to tweak them - this is the purpose of styles. > > Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!! > > Thank You > Ron -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
