Gary,
I haven't experienced problems with Writer until fairly recently. From
"reading the mail" in some OOo forums, it appears that the Windows Vista
(and perhaps XP) implementations are not anywhere near as stable as the
previous versions. I have a helluva time trying to convert .sxw files to
.odt without having Writer crash or opening some .odt files within
Writer without having Writer freeze so that I have to resort to the Task
Manager and kill Writer. Currently, I've been using Vista Ultimate the
past two weeks, and using OOo has been a nightmare of having to
repeatedly having to restart Writer after crashing or having to kill it
after it keeps hanging up.
If OOo is becoming quite user unfriendly as I believe it is to Windows
Vista users, how can OOo attract new (or retain its current) users if
what I am experiencing is routinely happening? I will probably have to
edit or whatever using MS Word and occasionally convert that to Writer
if I have so much of my time wasted with crashing or frozen Writer
documents.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties with Writer
on Vista. I just called the QA guys and they don't know of any
instability you describe. If this problem is somewhat reproducible,
I guess the QA folks would be grateful if you file an issue.
Thanks
Frank
