Re: [libreoffice-users] Format>Page window slow opening

What would you suggest I have my memory options increased to?

On this dual core laptop, I have a Intel B950 processor with 4 GB of 
RAM.  I do have only 30-40 GB free space on the drive, though.

This laptop is the one I use for emailing and document creation. My 
newer one has heat issues [a different thread] so currently I do not use 
it much.

So what should be the numbers for the various memory size options?  I am 
about to do a "sudo apt-get purge libreoffice?" command instead of the 
"remove" option command.  Then I would reinstall LibreOffice and add the 
newest color pallets I have been working on every so often.  I know that 
the color pallet files work fine, but I only use them for very specific 
projects.

I was also wondering if Steve had the LibreOffice version number correct 
- 5.6.x? Since the newest version seems to be listed as 5.4.0, I hope he 
was talking about that version.  I do not want to wait that long for 
these memory "bugs" issues to be fixed.
