Opening large word doc causes RAM to fill up, PC to BSOD when attempting to modify paragraph settings

I have a 467 page manual I have written. It has a TOC, index, tables, lots of images and lists.
It’s paragraph format in word is single line spacing, 0pt before and after spacing.

When loaded into writer (file, open), it’s loaded with 1.15 line spacing and >0 values for spacing before and after. Selecing all of the text and changing the paragraph format causes write to stop responding and incrememnt ram usage by 100KB/s.

I have 64GB. When RAM usage approaches 99% Windows appears to page stuff out, dropping RAM usage by a few % but eventually that stops and the PC BSODs.

I’ve tried setting the paragraph format before opening the document, and for sure, the values are 0,0 and single, until I open the docx file then it changes 0, 0.35 and 1.15 lines.

Is there a quicker way then making changes 1 page at a time?

This is pointless because rendering will use style configuration as defined in the document.

A DOCX file goes through a conversion first. Then depending on how your paragraph styles are defined or not (relying on default configuration) in the document, you may have different results. If there is no specific redefinition of the paragraph style (which one?), then the configuration in your machine default template is used.

It may also be possible that some direct formatting is erroneously interpreted during the conversion.



In the present description of the problem, it is impossible to opt for any hypothesis.

Try to convert to …odt from commandline:

[path/to/]soffice --convert-to odt [path/to/your/]manual.docx

and open the resulting manual.odt
