I am just writing to ask if anyone has any experience with Open Office Writer. I am trying to use it for the first time to make up a newsletter, as I usually use WinXp and Word. I find its performance to be so bad it is just about unusable. Is this the normal way it operates, or is there something wrong or otherwise necessary to make it operate properly?
Here is what its doing: When I try to move fontwork around to place on the title page, the computer chugs and the movements become jerky. I can't accurately place the fontwork. It is ridiculously slow as well.
Pretty much any other operation, such as saving the file will also do the same, it causes the computer to chug and takes a long time to complete.
My computer is a Dell Dimension 4600 with a P4 2.66 ghz processor, and has 3.6 gb ram.
I'd say something else is wrong there. OOo has its issues, but you should not see sluggishness like what you're describing.... it might be helpful to turn off graphics antialiasing. I just did some experimenting, and switching that off makes a huge difference in responsiveness.
