[ubuntu-in] Open Office Crashes

[Sanjay Bhangar]

My guess is the best thing to do is to file a bug-report with OpenOffice -
I've been dealing with a lot of M$ Word files in OpenOffice the past few
months and yes, OpenOffice does still have many problems dealing with
strange formatting options, Track Changes, strengely formatted tables,
etc...
The super-large file seems to be an interesting problem that you've caught -
my guess is these are bugs that hopefully the OpenOffice team fixes in a
future release..
Anyways, best of luck..
