Funny. I've done over a dozen manuals varying from 200 to 1200 pages in OpenOffice.org, crammed with screen shots, and only rarely had problems. In general, I've not only found it vastly more stable than MS Word for long documents, but also a suitable replacement for FrameMaker, which is designed for long documents I can't help wondering if your problem lies in your doc team's work flow. Or maybe it's a lack of RAM? -- Bruce Byfield 604-421.7177 Burnaby, BC, Canada http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield
