Re: [libreoffice-users] LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr

Hi Tim,
While it is not a real solution to my problem, this might be something
for me to look into! I didn't know about this feature and it sounds
great!
I do have some concers about cross-references between subdocuments and
table calculations with values from tables in a different subdocument.
But, I'll get myself educated and see if it is a feasable option...! ☺
Thanks!
