Hi,
I'm using OpenOffice 2.3 writer on both Mac Leopard and Ubuntu 7.10,
and I am having the same problem on both.
I have a large file (107 pages), and when I:
--select all
--copy
--past into another document
Open Office crashes and goes into its file recovery cycle, which seems
to succeed but upon opening the recovered files, Open Office crashes
again after a short time, initiating the recovery process again. So
now the files appear to be completely lost.
I am doing this so I can covert the existing content to a new set of
styles in order to modify the visual design of everything
automatically. (Is there a better way to "import styles"?)
Has anyone had the same problem, or does anyone know what might be
causing this? Workaround?
thanks,
Kyle

This kind of recovery loop certainly happens to others (there was a
recent thread about it) -- and in all the cases I've had myself, I think
the clipboard and/or Writer tables were usually involved. It doesn't
necessarily involve really large transfers..I'd recommend canceling the
recovery and see what you get in the files -- they may actually be OK or
nearly so. I'm sure you've already tried just copying smaller amounts
via the clipboard, taking things from logical breakpoints in the
document. Did that have any success? Does there seem to be some
particular kind of content that triggers the problem?
