------- Additional comments from mike_h...@openoffice.org Sun Jan 3 23:15:49 +0000 2010 ------- @anoopshah Those are very imaginative approaches, but do they resolve the problem? The difficulty is that the suggestions, particularly the first, add unnecessary complexity and it's not obvious that the extra coding required would be less than doing the job properly. Writer is perfectly capable of handling a document with more than 65534 characters. Why can't a paragraph be paged in and out in an analogous way to a document? That might improve rather than detract from performance. The bottom line is that there are users who need very large paragraphs, whether because of the nature of the document or as an interim step in editing large documents. A 100 page book isn't very long in this context. Hard limits were common in early application software. Later, it was generally accepted that limits should be imposed only by what the hardware can handle. I understand that this may be a very difficult issue to fix within Writer, but it seems inevitable that the limit must be removed one day. A professional product would have this capability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
