Reduce the number of Undo steps to a figure lower than 100. Adelstein suggests 20 or 30 steps.

Under Graphics cache, set Use for OpenOffice.org to 128 MB (up from the original 6MB).

Set Memory per object to 20MB (up from the default .5MB).
-
Set the number of objects under Cache for inserted objects at 20.
-
Check OpenOffice.org Quickstarter.

I cant do any copy operation using the right button of the mouse because it takes something like 5 minutes!!! Can anyone help me ?
- Posted by: ajsdlsfdj_586 at 23 Feb 12:01 permalinkYou can either simply highlight text (no need to press 'copy' in Ubuntu), and do a Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins to paste - no need to use mouse buttons.
Alternatively, you may have better luck with AbiWord instead of OOo... its lighter and quicker, but not quite as feature-rich. YMMV
