Edit: Edited to correct text. After some seconds - 30? 60? and several mis-starts, Writer eventually responds normally. I now have full control of the document. So, the problem is that it takes a long time to open. |
I left the computer with the 'crashed' file open. This time I didn't kill the process. Half an hour later it works again. I deleted the table of contents just in case this was indeed the issue.
Thank you for trying to help! Maybe I was just panicking. Who knew that if 10 min don't do the trick, maybe 30 will...
I do not have half an hour every day to just waste for it to work though..
Anyways, it works now. Hopefully it'll stay that way... Please don't waste your precious time on it!
Excellent. Make sure you have a backup from now on!!
Also, create a new, empty text document and then go Insert > From file ..., and bring in your document. Save the new document. This often clears up problems with files.

Edit: Oh no it isn't fixed! See edit below. |
Edit: I was sending the new file to alice980 but thought I would check it again before doing so. Surprisingly, it now opens with 92 pages and stops responding as before. When it does respond it is back to 80 pages. So I am very confused. alice980. Has anyone edited the file using MS Word? In particular has anyone used MS Word to record changes - that often seems to cause problems. |

Merging and splitting tables
One table can be split into two tables, and two tables can be merged into a single table. Tables are split only horizontally (the rows above the split point are put into one table, and the rows below into another).
To split a table:
1) Place the cursor in a cell which will be in the top row of the second table after the split (the table splits immediately above the cursor).
2) Right-click and choose Split Table in the pop-up menu. You can also use Table > Split Table from the menu bar.
3) A Split Table dialog box pops up. You can select No heading or an alternative formatting for the heading—the top row(s) of the new table.
4) Click OK. The table is then split into two tables separated by a blank paragraph.
Note If cells in one table include formulas using data from the other table, those cells will contain an error message: **Expression is faulty**.
To merge two tables:
1) Delete the blank paragraph between the tables. You must use the Delete key (not the Backspace key) to do this.
2) Select a cell in the second table.
3) Right-click and choose Merge Tables in the pop-up menu. You can also use Table > Merge Table from the menu bar.
Tip
To see clearly where the paragraphs are and to delete them easily, choose View > Nonprinting Characters (Ctrl+F10) or click the ¶ button in the Standard toolbar.

Edit: I have just thought of another thing which could have been tried. If you go View > Web layout ..., the document is portrayed as if it was a web page. It is a Interestingly, when I tried it, footnotes 1 - 218 gathered after table line 83, whereas footnotes 219 to the last footnote were at the end of the document as expected. I don't know why footnotes 1 - 218 were there. [because that is the end of Page 1] |
