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]>
