Problem description: I was trying to open my thesis, which is about 168 pages, or 71,000 words long, including footnotes. While libreoffice will open other docx files with no problem (the largest I tried successfully was about 15,000 words), it cannot open my thesis. It freezes, and even given a large amount of times (around 20 min) will not open the file. Upgrading to the latest version of Libreoffice did not fix this problem Steps to reproduce: 1. create a large (168 pages or 71,000 words) docx file 2. attempt to open 3. fail to open Current behavior: freezes, must be shut down Expected behavior: opens file without problems Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.2.4.2 release
hello Meredith, If there is no issue to do that, can you join the document itself, so we can see what is going wrong? Thank you, Jacques
Never mind, I found a solution to the problem. With no other applications running, Libreoffice will open the file eventually (takes around 10 minutes). Thanks for you help.

Hi Meredith, Such a file is opened in a few seconds. Writer Guide, the LO doc for Writer, 439 pages, 120927 words, is opened in 8 s. This will take a few more time for a docx, but less than 1 mn. In my opinion, there's still a problem. If you can open your file with LO, save a copy with odt extension. I can close this report, but don't hesitate to reopen if you don't achieve to open it. Have a nice day, Jacques
