Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: remove/merge pages

Hi :)
The first step is to try renaming the User Profile 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
Taht seems to magically fix a lot of issues as it "resets LibreOffice back to factory defaults", 
which a reinstall doesn't do.  

However, do other programs also crash?  Which Operating System are you using, or at least which 
platform; Windows, Gnu&Linux (eg Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora), Mac or Bsd?  Have you recently added a 
new graphics card?  

In LibreOffice you can bump up various memory settings 
Tools - Options - Memory

Crashes are often caused by a bad version of java.  Could you let us know which one you are 
currently using?
Tools - Options - Java
At the top of that page is a tick-box allowing you to switch off java so that it doesn't get used 
by LibreOffice at all.  Your web-browsers and stuff will all continue to use it but at least LO 
wont.  If LibreOffice really needs java for something then it will just give you a pop-up grumble, 
in which case just re-tick the box and try whatever it was again.  You only need java for some 
databases, some Extensions and some wizards.  

Regards from
Tom :)
