How to make OpenOffice run faster in Ubuntu

Here we will discuss the procedure to be followed for making OpenOffice run faster in Ubuntu.
Some simple steps make OpenOffice snappier.

Go to Applications > Office > OpenOffice.org Word Processor

The OpenOffice.org Word Processor is launched. Go to the Tools menu and select Options.

The Options window is opened.

Highlight Memory on the left panel, change the setting as shown below.

Reduce the number of Undo steps to a figure lower than 100. Adelstein suggests 20 or 30 steps.

Under Graphics cache, set Use for OpenOffice.org to 128 MB (up from the original 6MB).

Set Memory per object to 20MB (up from the default .5MB).

Set the number of objects under Cache for inserted objects at 20.

Check OpenOffice.org Quickstarter.

Now highlight Java on the left panel, uncheck Use a Java runtime environment

Click the OK button and close OpenOffice.org. Start it up again to experience the change in speed!
