Here is the file that keeps crashing. What I do is search for $ and replace all with a space. Before doing that, I replaced the double paragraph marks (about 500 of them) with #, so that I can restore them later.

I get an error message that says I have to turn off Undo.

I succeeded in doing the replacement on the first 50 pages by moving the remaining 600 pages to another file. With 100 pages, I still get the crash. To get the file I am sending you, I moved the 600 pages back in (they are now the top of p. 49 on). It still crashes the system, except when I reply in the error message dialog by telling it not to turn off Undo. In that case, it tells me it has done the replacement, but actually it hasn’t changed anything. If I don’t do that, I get a complete system crash. Sometimes I can terminate it by forcing termination of Writer; otherwise I have to turn the machine off and then on again manually, and restore the file.

I can’t believe that Writer was designed so that one can’t do a Replace All on 100 pages of text.

Cheers,

Nathan
