------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 8 02:35:43 -0800 2005 ------- I too have this same problem where it hangs if allowed to use background pagination. Only I was having the problem with a master document upon loading with update all links. It doesn't really do an update all links as the document loads and then continues with repagination much the same as a non- master document. This eventually hangs. It wasn't until I saw this issue that I tried to load, respond no to update links and then when the file opens do an update all links and then it will completely load then entire document successfully. Unfortunately I can't use master document because of another issue where master documents don't handle cross-references properly. So I converted to using a single large odt file and inserted the sub-documents one at a time manually. This works ok if an update all links is performed after each file insertion. However, I made the mistake of trying to edit this large 385 page document and caused a new page to be added which sent the document into background repagination from which it hung. Also, I've noticed this background pagination, if it does work without hanging, does not produce the same output as an update all produces. What happens with background repagination is that the page count is not stable and toggles between 381-385 like it can't figure out what it wants to do for sure. This does not happen with an update all which produces a stable page count. This pagination problem appears to be related to issue 58348 which seems to be referring to this same unstable page count. But I'm not certain if these are the same problem or not or perhaps two parts of the same problem. At any rate it makes it darn near impossible to create large documents with writer although master documents seem to work much better for this purpose if cross-references are not needed since the editing can be done in the smaller sub-documents and then just do one update all in the master document. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
