Is there a special reason why you "upgraded" to version 3.4, a release that is over a year old? Our most-recent version is 4.0.1. Since performance improvement were made in versions 3.4.1, 4.0.0 and 4.0.1, you are missing all of these improvements if you are running version 3.4. You can always download the most recent version of Apache OpenOffice at: http://www.openoffice.org/download Regards, -Rob > You know how long it took Microsoft Word to load the same file? 7 seconds. > Yes, that's right -- 7 SECONDS!!!!!!!!! > > Guess who's never using OpenOffice ever again?
