Howdy, |

As some know, I got a printer. Now I'm trying to get some info and |
4 |
print it using LOo for the most part. This is the way I do this. I go |
5 |
to a web page, sites will vary, and I highlight what I want and copy it |
6 |
to the clipboard. I then go to LOo and paste it as HTML, since that is |
7 |
what it is. At that point, LOo fetches things like pics and such to |
8 |
place on the document. It takes a little time and I avoid copying |
9 |
videos since it can't print a video. For the most part, this works |
10 |
great. It takes a minute or so to fetch the pics and such and |
11 |
everything looks fine. I remove anything I don't want such as ads and |
12 |
such. Basically, it looks like the web page but I can edit it to make |
13 |
fonts larger etc. However, sometimes it doesn't work. |
14 |
|
15 |
When it doesn't work, this is usually what happens. I paste the |
16 |
document and LOo gets very slow or doesn't respond at all. Sometimes it |
17 |
gets to the point I have to literally kill the thing to get it to stop. |
18 |
On the occasions that it is just slow, scrolling up or down to make |
19 |
edits is very slow. I'm talking I move the mouse wheel and a minute or |
20 |
two later it scrolls up a couple lines. In a document that is several |
21 |
pages long, it takes forever to scroll to the top after pasting it in. |
22 |
In older versions of LOo it didn't have this problem. It would copy and |
23 |
paste and even while fetching the pics, it would respond very well and |
24 |
was pretty fast. The pics sometimes would show up as empty boxes tho |
25 |
until they were fetched. I would wait until that was done before saving |
26 |
the docs. About a year or so ago, it started this very slow to |
27 |
downright won't respond thing. |
28 |
|
29 |
Is there a LOo guru that has a better idea on how to correct this or how |
30 |
to do this differently so that it responds even while fetching pics and |
31 |
such? Maybe there is a setting somewhere I can change to make it work |
32 |
better. |
33 |
|
34 |
Things I've considered but didn't like the results of. Selecting what I |
35 |
want to print and printing it as a pdf file or just printing directly |
36 |
without having a copy to edit. For obvious reasons, that doesn't work |
37 |
well because I sometimes change fonts and sizes for these old eyes. |
38 |
Doing this in LOo makes things better if I can get it working right. |
39 |
I've also tried the print friendly version when available but that |
40 |
removes some things I do want to have, pics mostly. |

Thanks much for the help. |
