Openoffice4

[Tony <tw...@btinternet.com>]

Hi
I have Apple Mac OSX 10.7.5.
Since I upgraded to Openoffice Version 4 I have noticed that this 
application is very much slower than the previous Openoffice version 3 
which I was using, particularly when saving or closing, but also on opening.
How do I return this version to the response the previous version had.
Thank you for your help.

There are indeed a few cases where OpenOffice 4 is slower: see
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122827
The bug has been fixed and a new release containing the fix can be 
expected to be available next month.

Regards,
   Andrea.

You need to drasticly change your method of working, as OpenOffice is _not_ a clone of MS Office, no matter what people think. It offers much the same functionality, but this is arrived at by different methods of working. OpenOffice makes considerable use of Styles.

You may find this document helpful
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started/Templates_and_Styles

It may also be of use to Internet search for "using styles in OpenOffice"

The consistent use of Styles requires a paradigm shift in one's method of working and it will not be in your first major project when you realise how powerful this method is. 

You may also ind it of use to bring specific problems to our Forum at

Hi I just downloaded open office apache for the first time. I am used to
Office. Having difficulty formatting the page I am using. I have to
continually format the page or app that I want on every line. Is there
something I can do???? Thanks
