OpenOffice crashes when opening a 12.3 Mb Word 2000 document
We can't evaluate anything without this document. Please follow these steps before attaching it (or mailing it directly to Michael: - Re-save it (with the fast-save feature of Word switched off because it increases the size) - Delete big graphics (assure that the crash still "works") - Cut to a size that still crashes: 1. Copy the doc 2. Delete the first half, save it 3. Undo, delete the second half, save under another name 4. Check which wich one crashes 5. Repeat 1-4 a few times until the size gets realistic - Zip it In most cases this works well. The size of a document itself is hardly ever the problem unless you run out of swap space and RAM. It must be "something" within the document. Reassigned to Michael.
We need the document to reproduce the crash. A crash is NOT because of a certain filesize. It is something special inside the document.So please attach it to the issue or send it directly to me. The shorter, the better.
