OpenOffice contantly not responding
OpenOffice contantly not responding
Hello, sorry if this has been asked before but I didn't see it anywhere. I have had problems with Apache Open Office not responding for 3 to 5 minutes after I make a change then save. It happens on both of my computers , both have windows 10. I just updated to the latest 4.1.7 with no difference. After the first few non responding it will clear up for a while then do it again. I'm not very computer savvy so I'm looking for a fix that I can handle. This is super frustrating. Thanks for any help..

How large is your file? Does it have images in it? In which format is it Saved (three/four letter file extension)?

Hello and thanks for the reply. It looks like the file is 294 KB, no images just a list of names, numbers, etc. I'm not sure how it's saved, how do I check that?

In Windows, enable "viewing of file extensions", or words to that effect. I don't use modern Windows, so cannot give better instructions than that.

It looks like they are saved in .ods Does that make sense?

Re: Open office contantly not responding
That indicates they are spreadsheets. Have you external links from the data, such as internet URLs?

I have three spreadsheets, the other two are smaller and respond better. The larger one doesn't respond about 75 percent of the time, sometimes it works good. All three spreadsheets are internal that I created, no links or anything..

Re: Open office contantly not responding
Without hands-on of your spreadsheet, it is impossible to say with certainty. Frequently a large spreadsheet which "hangs" does so because it either has to reformat and recalculate, or to access external links; if recalculating or reformatting is involved, "circular" or recursive references can cause the number of passes in the process to increase.
It would be helpful if you could upload your spreadsheet to a file sharing site and post the URL here. I'm not a Calc expert, but other volunteers have advanced Calc skills.

By the way I did try running is safe mode and it made no difference.
