Problem:-

OpenOffice long delay in opening existing document.
This delay, which is in the region of 25+ seconds, occurs only on the first instance of opening an existing document.
Subsequent openings of existing documents during the current session are rapid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fix:-

(1): Open the file /etc/hostname as sudo in an editor and modify the existing hostname by adding:

.none

Example:

Existing hostname: home-desktop
Modified hostname: home-desktop.none

Save the file

(2) Open the file /etc/hosts as sudo in an editor and add a new IP address and the modified hostname :/strong>

Example:

Existing hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 home-desktop

Add the following: 127.0.2.1 home-desktop.none

Save the file and reboot the computer.

OpenOffice should now open existing documents without the delay.
