Some people suggest to use AbiWord to deal with large documents. OpenOffice needs a lot of RAM to deal with large documents make sure you have enough.

Maybe you should try to convert your file in a native OpenOffice format (odt for Writer, etc). I don't know if it will help.

Can you help with this problem?
