I started writing a text with Writer and could not go any further than 4

giving a no answer from Writer. Worse, after starting up again I was
offered to restore the file : impossible. I tried the same three times
and had to give up. It's urgent work so I had to revert to Google
Documents. PC - W XP 2. Any idea what could be the cause of this
annoying behavior ? Thank you in advance for assistance.
What version of OOo are you using?
Have you had any pre-release versions (developers builds, release candidates)
on the machine before you installed this version?
When I had this happen to me, I had been using developers builds, which I
think had corrupted something. I tried reinstalling the latest OOo, but that
didn't work.
I finally fixed the problem by deleting this folder from the C drive:
Documents and Settings > [user name] > Application Data > OpenOffice.org
The next time I started OOo, it recreated that folder and all was well. The
only problem was that I had to re-do all my options within OOo.
Someone else may be able to tell you a less drastic way to fix the
freezing/crashing problem, but that one has always worked for me.
