My guess is the best thing to do is to file a bug-report with OpenOffice - I've been dealing with a lot of M$ Word files in OpenOffice the past few months and yes, OpenOffice does still have many problems dealing with strange formatting options, Track Changes, strengely formatted tables, etc... The super-large file seems to be an interesting problem that you've caught - my guess is these are bugs that hopefully the OpenOffice team fixes in a future release.. Anyways, best of luck.. -Sanjay
