With >this failure it is impossible to work with OOo. I don't think the problem is with OpenOffice.org. I think the problem is that you are saving every change to the document and that is causing the entire document to be very large. If you don't need this function I would not use it. I've run into this with Microsoft Office documents and inadvertantly created a 64MB Word document and I had to clean it out of the changes and start again as if it was an original document.
>Is there some help? That is what this mailing list is for. As an exception, I will ask that you send me a copy of the document you are working on. Please be aware that I have many things to do during the day and it may take a while for a reply from me. Also, I serve in the capacity of the QA Coordinator for the Mac OS X releases and this is a problem that needs to be investigated.
