The spontaneous logouts were causing havoc in my file, as every backup was resulting in yet another corrupted file - at least that's what it looks like.
I decided to split the file, reasoning that if I took out all the info about ImageMagic use it would halve the size of it :) All went well, and SOWriter was noticeably quicker in response as the file size went down, until they were both near equal size. I was cutting and pasting, so both had to be open at once. Then I hit real trouble. Both halves started behaving the same way. I gave up on Open Office last year because it seems so unstable, and this is exactly the same. Now I need to know whether it is the file that is the problem, or something here in my installation or hardware. Is anyone who uses SO or OOo willing to take one of the files and try to open it to see what happens? It doesn't seem to put any of your other files at risk. You would need to open it, navigate it a bit, copy and paste to an empty file, and so on, to see if it behaves. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
