" WRITER can of course read all your old Microsoft Word documents ..."  it 
says.

So as part of my testing to see if I will be able to change from MS to OOo 
apps, I tried to import a large and complex Word document into Writer.  This 
is a severe test but it's a genuine document that I worked on a while back 
and might need to revise.  It is master file of a book with an enormous 
table and lots of footnotes (some of which Word, incidentally, puts in the 
wrong place because of a bug).  File size in Word is about 5 MB.  Write 
seems to finish importing but then freezes completely and does not even show 
any of the text.

This might be an unfair test, so my question is: what sort of limits are 
there on what can be imported?  Obviously if I can't import such a file I 
will have to keep Word going, and this will be a  nuisance when I change my 
PC.
