I feel confident that your touchpad is the culprit. Sometimes, my touchpad will sense the slightest brush of my thumb. Sometimes, if I even slightly move my thumb over the pad, it will actually highlight text and as soon as I type another letter, it will replace all the selected text with my n

98 keeps incrementing as your document grows; it finally ends up being on page 210--and your cross-reference reflects that.) I really, really like AOO, but if it faults out on long docs, I'll keep using Neo until it works without failing. On Dec 3, 2012, at 7:22 PM, VA wrote: I won

I wonder if it might be helpful to save larger works into smaller chunks and then use the Master Document feature to bring them all together. It takes some getting used to, but once learned, it has some neat advantages to trying to edit several hundred pages in one file. Virgil -Original
