Somebody mentioned that it might be a network thing, that OO is waiting for a network connection. I found the following suggestions: - under options-Internet set the proxy to None - do you have a network printer installed? If so, make a dummy local printer and set that as default. As somebody else mentioned: - comment out all dictionaries that you don't need in in /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst Unfortunately, all these suggestions didn't improve anything. It did get a bit better after I removed and reinstalled the rpms, but it's still terribly slow. Hopefully the next release will be much faster. There are snapshot rpms for the development version on the openoffice webpage (http://download.openoffice.org/index.html). They don't conflict with the existing OO1.1. but install a separate copy of OO 1.9. This version is really much faster (and uses less memory), but of course it's development and more risky. Hope that helps Stephan
