I have never adjusted the memory settings in over ten years of using OO. I
just checked and my current memory for OO itself is set at 20 mg. I've never
experienced performance problems with the program, so I'm not going to
change anything right now.
But, what is the downside to increasing this number? Does it affect the
ability of other programs to run?

In OpenOffice /Tools /Options (/Options is under Preferences on a
Mac) in the OpenOffice/rg:Memory section there are adjustments for
various memory settings. Some of these are for graphics, but there
is a main setting which (from memory) is 256MB for OpenOffice itself.
Increase this to 512 MB( Max allowable?) and restart OpenOffice,
including any quickstarter. It is frequently best to close OO and
restart the computer to be certain this setting takes. Most
Volunteers on the Forum will have made this change so long ago that
we forget to recommend it.
Rory;
On my Windows XPsp3 system running AOO 3.4.1 the setting for Use for
OpenOffice.org is under Graphics Cache and max's out at 256 you can
highlight it and overwrite it, but it does not take.

As an aside: ought not this memory allocation be increased in future
releases of AOO; 256/512 MB used be ample, but with 8/16GB machines,
perhaps the memory management of AOO needs revision.
