I have investigated further, and found the problem (or at least my problem). Here we go...
My document started as a .doc file, with a full page image as the title page, which I opened in OOo 1.9.100 and then saved as .odt. Looks like the problem is the way the image was put into the document. I think the image was cut and pasted from another program (probably Photoshop) into the word doc, instead of saving the image from Photoshop and then in Word inserting it. I think Word must have been using it as a bitmap (the file size was 1.8MB, but after I inserted a similar image, the filesize was only 600KB, for a document with just that image). My .odt file is currently 4MB, and takes 2.5 minutes to save. Once that image is removed from the file, the filesize drops to 197KB (yes, that is correct, from 4MB to 197KB for one image!). I appears the copy and pasted image was causing my issue (in whatever internal form it possessed), so, Gene, I think you are correct, it was internal processing time. Hopefully this information is helpfull to others, Rodney On 5/24/05, Gene Heskett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 24 May 2005 12:20, Rodney R wrote: > >Hi, I have OOo 1.9.100 running on Windows 98.
