I got rid of 3.4 and installed 3.3.X and it solved all speed problems I was having. Here's how I did it- I deleted 3.4.3 which had been installed via Synaptic and all of the PPA stuff that had to be added. Also deleted was the ./LibreOffice folder and an old ./OpenOffice folder that contained who-knows-what but I read somewhere to delete it...so...I did. Then, I installed the following version; LibreOffice 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401) tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1 This version was found at- http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ The file was- LibO_3.3.4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz <http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.4/deb/x86/LibO_3.3.4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz> 146 MB Once the file is downloaded and extracted you MUST read the README file found in the main folder. It describes how to install LibreOffice. If I can do it....so can you. It's very easy and doesn't require all of that esoteric ./configure, make, make install stuff that works for me about 1% of the time. -- 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
