I tried to open a novel in progress in the middle, but the text kept jumping around from page to page and just wouldn't sit still long enough for me to proofread anything. I tried closing it and reopening it repeatedly, but it kept on doing it. What causes this, and how can I prevent it?

What is the file type?.

Is it a long document?, maybe you need to wait a while before LibreO finish to compose the view, adjusting images, etc.

It is a text file. And yes, it is long. It is a novel. It has no images in it, just print. The jumping happens when I start to scroll, while proofreading it. Thank you for answering!

When you suggest waiting, do you mean waiting initially after opening the file, or waiting every time I scroll down?

Type: Native ODT, or DOC or DOCX. Waiting initially after opening.

It's ODT. I also have lots of WPM which Open Office stopped reading, hence my exploration of Libre Office. Waiting awhile after initially opening does seem to help. Thanks!
