Hi :) Maybe about 5mins for the full book. On mine it took 15 seconds to reach the grey-out inside the tab and just under 30 seconds to display the Getting Started guide. More than 10secs feels like "forever" of course.
The wiki-page shows the approximate number of pages in each guide http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation which might help you guess at roughly how long each might take. Just out of curiosity which version of java are you using? Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Java The 2.6.0_21 is the best with the _20 and _22 being good 2nd best and the more recent ones, such as _24 and _26, being completely hopeless. I don't think java is the issue here. I just don't know tbh. Are other things taking ages to start-up, such as YouTube videos and stuff? How about other apps? Does it take ages to open-up LibreOffice normally? Is it faster 2nd time, after you close and re-open? Have you cleared "private data" such as temp folders, history and stuff in FireFox? Have you defragged you system lately? Also, a little while ago, someone was asking about which plug-in to use to make it possible to view documents inside FireFox and i only knew how to do that in Gnu&Linux, not Windows. In Firefox Tools - Add-ons - Plug-ins do you also have "OpenOffice.org Plug in"? I tried using that pop-up to do a search in FireFox add-ons to try to find the proper name of the plug-in but couldn't find it listed there. Presumably it's an option given during install? Did you do a "Custom" install? I was thinking that maybe it's one of the extra files in the download bundle? Luckily i think the person only wanted to know for Gnu&Linux so we were able to help but it would be good to know for future reference. How long is it taking to reach the grey-out stage? God luck, thanks and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Dave Barton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 30 August, 2011 1:49:39 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] New to Group, and so checking on Browser Plug-in -------- Original Message -------- From: webmaster for Kracked Press Productions <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:21:04 -0400 > On 08/29/2011 07:35 PM, Dave Barton wrote: >> -------- Original Message -------- >> From: Tom Davies<[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:35:05 +0100 >> >>> Hi :) >>> If you open the manuals/guides by doing a right-click and then "open >>> in a new >>> tab" then you can give it plenty of time to open.

IIRC this "feature" was introduced somewhere around the end of OOo v2 and start of v3 series. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
