Hi Raymond, until we start digging into how to fix it, I think this is more on-topic on the QA list -> Fwd.
----- Forwarded message from r_ouellette <ray.ouelle...@sympatico.ca> ----- Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:07:29 -0800 (PST) From: r_ouellette <ray.ouelle...@sympatico.ca> Subject: Regression - LO Writer 4.0 I'm using Writer since 2006 (it was then OpenOffice.org's version) for a statistical document of 262 pages. You can see the result at http://www.mels.gouv.qc.ca/sections/publications/index.asp?page=fiche&id=67 <http://www.mels.gouv.qc.ca/sections/publications/index.asp?page=fiche&id=67> -- The document is in french only. There are more than 150 tables, all created using Calc. Each table is copied as GDI metafile in the Writer document. I intensively use styles in the Writer document. The tables are copied in vectorial format because they can be resized like I want in the writer document while preserving their original appearance. There is also a triple font substitution to avoid embedding ttf fonts in the pdf version (Arial > Helvetica; Courier New > Courier; Times NewRoman > Times) and Type1 fonts are used. Up to version 3.6.x, Writer was fast and usable with close to 270 pages. Since 4.0, I think a redraw algorithm was introduced that slowed Writer, making it almost unusable. I must wait a too long time for each page to redraw when I move inside the document. Anyone else noticed this behavior? By the way, even Calc has this redraw problem when you use the paintbrush to apply a format from a cell to another: try to group a few cells together, then copy the grouped cells format to another cell and the newly applied format is not refresh immediately.
