It will help anyone, the miswritten file was having the spelling programme look for a match to all availabloe ditionaries - it was never designed for that. I had it going up to 720MB of my memory on a right- click.
No wonder my laptop went swap-crazy. :)
I used to use OpenOffice 1.0 on a P233 laptop with 96MB of RAM (Redhat 9 as the OS), and aside from the initial loading time, it worked quite well. Has the memory footprint gone up THAT much with the 1.1 series, or is the other poster's pain associated with this dictionary bug?
Yeah... I'm affraid OOo 1.1.3 has a bit too big memory foot print to be useable on a 128Mb System... The whole OOo package should do something about their loading times and their memory footprint... I mean, you "only" open an app at a time, is it really necesary to initialize the whole spreadsheet-like subroutines when you load writer? Couldn't that be dynamic? (I don't have the slightest idea on how is OOo designed, so I couldn't say).
