Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about limits for large Master Documents.

Take a look at one of my books hosted here: 
https://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
 
Direct link to the latest version:
https://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_4_1.odt
 
Warning before you do. First, the book is about macros and contains macros.
 
The book is very large with lots of references and pages. Developers actually made changes to deal 
with the size of this book. If I remember, it had to do with number of references or something, I 
have already forgotten.
That said, there are limits, but they are pretty big.

Hello,

I am planning to use LibreOffice Writer and Master Documents for a long
novel.

I have been trying to find out whether there are any documented limits that
I should know about for a very large book.

Specifically:

1. Is there a maximum number of sections in a Master Document or in the
resulting combined document?
2. Is there a maximum word or character count for a section?
3. Is there a maximum number of subdocuments that a Master Document can
contain?
4. Is there any documented maximum word or character count for the complete
book after the Master Document and its subdocuments are combined into one
file?

If there are no fixed documented limits, are there any known practical
limits for a large text-only book?


If you do not know whether there is one, please say you don't know instead
of inventing false information, if you do think you know, but unsure,
please tell me and see if you can get it confirmed, as this is very
important to me,

I just really don't want to feel crammed or pressured or like something is
down my throat when im writing, because it feels suffocating and worries me
if ill reach a limit, if there is one PLEASE reconsider removing limits for
writing etc, this is like the only app I've found that hasnt talked about a
limit on its website.


Thank you, and lastly thank you for being a free app!
