I have been writing a book using LibreOffice. It is now 30Mb and includes a lot of photos.
On my 32 bit Windows XP machine it ran with no problems. On my new 64 bit Windows 7 PC it can not cope. It hangs up after scrolling past the first few pages.
I decided to split it but can’t do so because it hangs up if I try to copy a few pages.
I am not impressed by this poor performance. I hope I am not going to be forced into buying Microsoft Office.
