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

Hi :)
Ahh, the magic of updates!

I'm glad it got resolved!

I haven't read what got tried but it seemed like you did all the right
things worth trying.  Often problems are due to settings in the "User
Profile" or more likely Extensions in there.  Renaming the "User Profile"
often fixes a wide variety of "strange things that 'shouldn't' happen".

Very early on just after LibreOffice forked from OpenOffice.org i found
that sometimes i needed to create a new document and then copy the contents
of the old one with as little formatting as possible, and then reapply the
formatting.  At the time i was only just beginning to become aware of the
advantages of styles rather than direct formatting, and i was having to do
much the same thing with old MS documents too anyway.  It's been quite a
few years since i last had to do that but i keep it in mind if i ever run
into problems with a one-off document.

With very large or heavy documents i often find it's one or 2 of the
graphics (usually a photo) that are ridiculously large.  Getting the image
out of the document and then using an image editor such as Gimp to resize
the image down to about double the size i really need in the document
usually makes it drastically lighter and the whole document much lighter
without any noticeable difference on-screen or in print.


Anyway, it seems like you have probably done or thought about all of this
already.
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)
