Gentlemen, I am a bit dismayed by the difficulty to report a bug that
may be to the benefit of the development of OpenOffice. Twice, now, I
have lost several hours of work in preparing presentations using the
Windows version of OpenOffice Impress 2.1. Why? Each time the loss
occurred I working on the last slides of the presentation. Impress
would hang, freeze. I noticed in the OpenOffice Track List that Impress
has been hanging for other reasons. I hope that you will be able to
overcome the bug. My guess is that it may have to do with the cache or
temporary file that OpenOffice Impress creates for automatic saves,
perhaps involving interoperability with Windows. For the time being I
have to go back to using Power Point. Also, another bug involving
Impress, which may or may not be your problem, is the lack of transition
sounds being heard in the recent Linux versions using OpenOffice 2.1,
e.g. Fedora and SUSE. I recently complained about it in the Fedora
forum. There were no takers. An OpenOffice tech kept replying earlier
that he could not replicate the problem. It may the defacto sound card
recognition in the installs of the newer applications. After
uninstalling Fedora 6, I installed Mandriva 2006, with which I had
encountered the same problem, with it and even more recent versions of
Mandriva. I found that after deselecting the defacto sound card
recognition in the Mandriva install, the transition sounds in Impress
could be heard! The applications have been making a defacto recognition
of an ATI driver associated with the modem or network. For what it is
worth, Roy Quick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
