We inherited the half baked OOwriter document from the client (done by it's previous vendor). I do not recall the details of our working. However, I had instructed them to pull in the screenshots through the "Insert>Picture>From File.for graphics. We also tried a "master" document approach. > The slowness could also be caused if the image is not "inline" i.e not > actually inserted from file and rather using copy-paste.

At that time, I solved my issue with converting to DocBook. I have used DocBook on and off for 12 years now and I am comfortable with it's workings. Their mailing list is very active and have found solutions to my issues searching through the archives. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
