Trying to save a very long document often results in crash

[Arilando]

I have a document that's 49 pages long and about 90k characters. When trying to save this document after making a change to it, open office often will not respond and then crash. This is very annoying. I should say that this document contains a mix of standard english letters and symbols and chinese characters, i don't know whether or not this is impacting my problem. Is there a solution to this? This is on windows 7 professional.

EDIT: This seem to also happen with smaller documents now.

I can save documents of 1000-2000 pages (and more) [1million to 2 million characters] with no problems. Start by renaming your OpenOffice user profile.

As your Forum .sig says you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start OpenOffice.

1. Does the document have footnotes or endnotes?

2. Does AOO crash - ie disappear completely? Or does AOO hang and stop responding?

3. If AOO hangs, what happens if you wait until it runs again?

4. Create a new document by File > New > Text document. Insert > From file ..., and pull in your document. Save it. Does it now crash? If it is OK, it suggests it is the document(s) you are editing which is/are causing the problem.

5. Reset the profile - see Resetting the user profile
