I believe that OpenOffice.org has been addressing this problem but it seems to be very idiosycratic. I have found that OOo 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 seem to load faster than MS Word 2007 on the same machine. In fact I have never had any of OOo 2.x versions take more than roughly 5 seconds to load on a XP with 1 GB memory. Others report quite long loading times. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
