That's an old problem, and I'm not sure if the current OOo update fixes it or not (it may - but I'd already fixed the problem on my original OOo installation). OOo by default is checking WAY too many spelling dictionaries when you right click on a misspelled word, and sucking up about 700 megs or so of RAM. To fix the problem, do this (as root): * Go to the /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo directory * Edit this file: dictionary.lst * Comment out or delete all the lines for languages you don't use. Since I use US English only, I deleted everything in that file except for these three lines: DICT en US en_US HYPH en US en_US THES en US th_en_US -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
