Re: [libreoffice-users] using libre office with portable apps

1) Since you are using Win XP I assume that the machine is a little old.  That 
means that the USB port is probably a USB 1 port.  That will run much slower 
than a USB 2 port.  I have the same problem in the one lab I teach in.  This lab 
is the last stop before the machines get recycled so the technology is old and 
slow.  Or a second thought is that your flash drive may be getting old.  They 
will slow down to a crawl as they wear out.  This is true especially when you 
try to save something to it.

2) When I copy and paste from the web into a LO document I use the paste special 
function.  Use the Edit menu Paste Special then paste as Unformatted Text.  A 
faster way to do the same thing is to click on the drop down button next to the 
Paste Button on the Standard (top) Tool Bar then click on Unformatted text.  
Pasting as unformatted text strips off all the web coding that you can't see.

Hope this is helpful.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] using libre office with portable apps

Hi all

1) When using Writer or any other of the programms from LO through
"Portable Apps" off a USB stick, is it normal that it takes about 2 mins
or more to load I seem to wait forever.  I have other applications I use
and they seem to load much quicker, I am using this mainly on XP pro.

2)  When copying text from a web page it puts the text in a space of its
own with a line above and below the text from margin to margin to remove
the lines I have to cut the text, I am then able to delete the lines and
replace the text without any lines, I am not able to delete the lines
without cutting the text first. 

Any suggestions welcome

Colin
