[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice crawling on converted .doc file

I had a couple of hundred e-mail messages in Outlook 2007 (on Win XP Pro)
that I needed to export, so they ended up as an Adobe Acrobat "Portfolio" (a
couple of hundred individual PDFs within some sort of PDF-ish wrapper).

I then used a function in Acrobat Pro to mush them all into one, and finally
exported that one big document as a .doc file.

With MS Word 2007, I can quickly open the file and then scroll around it as
needed.
With LibreOffice Writer (3.4.1), the file takes a while to open, and then
every operation is agonizingly slow. Scrolling takes place as one
screen-full jump every 2-to-3 seconds, and attempting to scroll some
distance gets cached and then slowly enacted over the next minute or so.

It's unusable.

I have other files that I've created in LO or in Word, that work fine in LO,
including some 100+ page documents.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to make this document
behave in LO?
 OR is there a different path to get from 200+ Outlook messages to a single,
scrollable, searchable .doc or .odt file (with formatting and highlighting
preserved)?

Thank you.
