I do have an overclock kernel. I run Titan's kernel at 850 mHz. And yes, OOo is a little slow to start up. But, we are talking of a difference of 20 seconds between what would seem very fast and what appears slow. To me, those 20 seconds are livable when i need the power of a full blown word processor that can handle ODF and DOC files, tables and other heavy formatting, and that can create PDFs from them. If you don't need all that, then sure, the 20 seconds may not be worth it.

I ham not familiar with how well Abiword handles all that.

I find that abiword on easy debian is much quicker than OO writer
The typical startup times I get where I can start typing a document are.

Open Office (starting from outside LXDE) 1minute 20 seconds
Open Office (starting from LXDE) 1 minute

Abiword (starting from outside LXDE) 20 seconds
Abiword (starting from LXDE) 10 seconds

Depending on which version of OO you have the timings can improve (up to about a factor of 2 improvement) but never come close to Abiword. On the other hand, Open Office is a little better at reproducing word documents than Abiword.

Documents to Go Premium is faster than both. But you only can, as far as I can tell, just make text documents. If you need to make equations you are out of luck. You can make equations with OO writer and Abiword.

Abiword will also output your document in Latex.

These timings are for the case where I do not overclock.
I'd like to see a similar comparison with overclocking.

Well, I finally got around to giving this a try. I don't think I had used OOo since I got my new N900 last week. I was surprised to see that the icon for going straight to Writer from Maemo is not working. I'll have to see what is wrong with that. Fortunately, the icon for going to OpenOffice.org itself does work. These are my time measurements using Titan's kernel overclocked to 850 MHz, after using the Close Debian icon to ensure a fresh start:

Inside EasyDebian:
Opening writer from the menu: 44 seconds.

Outside EasyDebian:
Opening OpenOffice.org (general menu): 19 seconds.
Opening writer by clicking on the writer icon from OOo menu: 37 seconds.

Why do some pages or sometimes an entire word document appear blank in viewing mode?
Indeed,as someone posted earlier,in editor mode,when you highlight the page,the document can be read. But that is ofcourse unpractical and no way to work.

I really would like to continue working with freoffice as it is quick and practical..despite it's ambition to be a magician that makes pages disappear.

What can i do to fix this issue?

Thank you for your time.

You can send your document to FreOffice developers to inspect the problem, just use Feedback button inside the app. Maybe they will fix this issue in the next release.

Hi, I guess I'm missing something, but how do I make a selection?
And why the pipe appears only in the first letter of the line? And why the "underlining" of the line is always the last one instead of the current?

Am I missing something?

Thanks.
