The changes are not difficult and do seem to have an effect. We can’t be certain how much this will affect the functionality but we pass these ideas on. Both changes involve going into the Tools and then options management sections. In the memory dialogue box, increase graphics cache to 64MB and memory per object to 8MB. It will take Open Office a few openings before this helps.
