My only issue with Open Office is that it is slow to start up. Here are a few quick tips to speed up Open Office.

In OpenOffice, click Tools > Options > Memory. Change the following:

  • Number of Steps - 20
  • Use for OpenOffice.org - 128
  • Memory per object - 20
  • Number of Objects - 2
  • Check OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

Then under Java:

  • uncheck Use a Java runtime environment

Click OK, and your done! OpenOffice should startup alot quicker!
