Little ole me looks at the disk light. :) Also, I have gkrellm
installed which can show graphically the disk usage. (There is also the
systat package which I just found searching for -> monitor OR watch
"disk i/o" -> iostat -> search debian pkgs page for this command.) And
of course top and free commands show swap space used/available.

Don't know, John, I'm just a simple user. If it were me, I'd copy the
contents of the doc onto the clipboard, paste it into a text-only
editor, re-copy the now text-only data into a new OOo doc. (This is
crude, but assures nothing surprising gets inadvertently copied.) Now,
try the new doc.
Good luck!
Ralph
