Speed up OpenOffice in Ubuntu

Here's something you can do to speed up the Word Processor in OpenOffice when running in Ubuntu. First, start the Word Processor. Then select "Tools" from the menu bar, then select "Options...". You should now have the options window of the OpenOffice Word Processor open.

On the left panel of the options window, select "Memory" and make the following changes in the right panel:

- In the Undo section, set "Number of steps" to 20.

- In the Graphics Cache section set "Use for OpenOffice.org" to 128 MB, and set "Memory per object" to 20 MB.

- In the Cache for inserted objects section, set "Number of objects" to 20.

- Click the checkbox for "OpenOffice.org Quickstarter".

Go back to the left panel and select "Java" then in the right panel, uncheck the box labeled "Use a Java runtime environment".

Once you are done with these changes, click "OK" to save them. The will not take effect until you restart the Word Processor again.
