Some of these are for graphics, but there is a main setting which (from memory) is 256MB for OpenOffice itself. Increase this to 512 MB( Max allowable?) and restart OpenOffice, including any quickstarter. It is frequently best to close OO and restart the computer to be certain this setting takes. Most Volunteers on the Forum will have made this change so long ago that we forget to recommend it. As an aside: ought not this memory allocation be increased in future releases of AOO; 256/512 MB used be ample, but with 8/16GB machines, perhaps the memory management of AOO needs revision. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
