trouble with index insertion and re-opening files

HI All.

I'm having some trouble with OOo 2.03 (I think) on Suse linux.

As background the document I'm working on is my PhD thesis (50,000 words, inserted graphics). Firstly if I try to update my index at the begining of the document OOo hangs indefinitely. The same happens if I delete the index and try to insert a new one.

Secondly, if I take the same document (saved as an .odt file) and try to open it in StarOffice 8 it opens as read only. Why is this and are there any tips for the index problem?

Thanks

Divide et impera-solution (-> tribute to Julius Caesar)

1. Remove graphics and try a smaller sample of your document (say 3 % textsize)
2. Remove graphics with full size text document
3. Try a smaller sample of your document including graphics (say 3 % textsize)

This method will reveal the graphics or the text as a problem.
