LibreOffice Locks up

I would really like to be able to use this software but I can’t. Every single time I start it up and begin typing inevitably the software begins a loop-lock as if the program is ‘thinking’. The cursor stops flashing and the 10 second loop begins. After about 10 seconds I can type for 1 second and then it starts all over. This renders the program useless.
I’ve just installed the latest version with high hopes but no, it still does the same thing.
Any ideas on what to do to stop this?
Pffft.
Never mind. There are way too many other free office programs to mess with this. Tried another and it is far and away better than LibreOffice. Better, Stonger, faster. Thanks for the free software, I appreciate your efforts. You should try to slim down your coding, it is getting in the way of the program instead of being the program.
