Hi :) It does seem like an usually huge file-size. 150 kb would be more normal!
There is a "memory" setting that might be useful to increase quite dramatically. From the "Tools" menu; Tools - Options - Memory You can see the settings are mostly all very low so that people can easily use LibreOffice on very low-spec machines. Modern desktops and laptops have plenty of Ram these days and i'm guessing you are not using a tablet or phone so you can radically increase most of those values. I tried bumping the "used by LibreOffice" one up from around 10-20 Mb to about 200 Mb. I think the maximum value is 256 Mb because when i tried higher values they got reduced to 256 Mb. I usually reduce the number of steps it can undo because 100 usually takes me to waaay before my last back-up. If the file really is Mb instead of just kb then is it due to having lots of images and art?
