 |
|
Hello,
I have just migrated in my office to OpenOffice from MSO. The scretaries have a very large document. They use to open it in no time with MS word 97. I have migrated that file to odt format and it takes about 20-30 seconds to open the file
What can I do to speedup that loading time?
Luis. |

Is this document still in MS word Format ?. In this case, OOo has to convert it, each time it opens the file. Can't you save it in ODT format ?

| The document is already in odt format. It is the first thing I have tried. In case anybody want to try to load the document, it is located in http://antares.sip.ucm.es/pr.odt |

It opens in 10-20 seconds here; 7-10 seconds loading the file, then I think Writer is repaginating for 10 more seconds (400 pages).
OOo 2.0.2, 750MB RAM, XP HOME

In the computer I have, it takes longer. Obviously it depends on the computer and the Operating System. Anyway, why can MS-Word open the equivalent in no time and it takes much longer OpenOffice? I want to recall that, apparently, MS-Word opens it in no time.
Personally I think that time is not very important. But the stuff is complaining about the new system and I do not want to go back to MSO. Besides that document is awfully design...
It may be a psicological effect. While MS-Word is openning the document it shows wahtever it can. Could it be possible to get the same effect in OpenOffice? I already had to compile OpenOffice to include some patches, so compile it again does not scare me too much. |

| It opens in about 12 seconds for me. I don't know if it will help you but as I recall you can sometimes get some performance improvements by going to Tools -> Options... -> OpenOffice.org -> Memory and adjusting some of the cache parameters. It might be worth a try. |

I increased the memory and it didn't help.
