I wonder if this doesn't sound more like a memory management problem in the operating system, than a problem with Writer.
Actually, though, your invoicing might very well work well as a mailmerge (or emailmerge) but the initial setup is somewhat more complicated than pasting into text documents. In a business you would want to have your clients and suppliers part of an Oo Base from which you would automate multiple tasks. Did you try a reboot? (Also, if that persists, and your op-sys is Windows, you could also give system restore a shot.) Then, if you needed to, you could do a diskcheck on the boot drive, but you would have to set the demand, then reboot. XP would then do the chkdsk while in a semi-rebooted state, so as to have the exclusive access to certain files it would need for that task.
