Thank you for your patient help, Duncan. That was in fact the problem - it was loading every single one of them. It's better now.

I'd seen that earlier in the thread but had brushed past it too fast. I knew I'd installed only one dictionary and I was so sure I didn't have any others I didn't check.

Cheers,
Leslie

The fun begins when, as I said, I type in a spelling error with the automatic checker on, then right-click. Memory goes up to 555 MB before everything freezes, and the disk drive keeps whirring until I hit the power button.
I think it will be okay if I remember not to spellcheck. It would be nice to have that luxury, though.


You need to find your dictionary.lst file. Mine was in
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst

Open that and see if it's loading more dictionaries than you need. Trim as needed.

That is a known problem in the fc3 rpm of OOo. It is also mentioned a bit earlier in this archive.
