Re: Open Office becoming impossible to use- bug ridden

["Dr. Martin Senftleben" <li...@drmartinus.de>]

I don't know if you received any reply, I haven't seen any on the list. 
To clarify, I have one question: Do you by any chance use Base as well, 
i.e. do you have a database open when working on the other documents? If 
so, you need to make sure that changes to the database (e.g. forms or 
fields changes) are being saved, else this may lead to a tremendous lag. 
Saving the database is different from changing changes to the contents 
of a field. You have to go to the general database window and choose 
save from the menu (or click on the save icon).
Beyond that, I have not experienced such issues, but I am using Linux 
and not Windows.
In any case: if there is malware involved, it hasn't come from 
OpenOffice, at least not from the package, if you installed it from the 
official website. There are many ways malware can become active on your 
PC, mostly it's via an email, but it can also be via a document (macros) 
etc.. If Malware causes the problems, it's most likely not helpful to 
reinstall OpenOffice, but you should then use a good virus and malware 
scanner to identify and remove it.

Regards,

Martin

Sometimes that stops after 5 minutes or so and I can continue and sometimes it continues for 30 minutes so I have to use Task Manager to “End Task” and start over. Have others experienced this? I don’t know if the has been an “improvement” made to OpenOffice that is causing this or it has been hacked and malware inserted or what. Perhaps I will erase my copy and import a new one to see if that helps anything.
