      Have you learned how to use Master Book for tasks like writing 
books like yours? This will permit you to write the chapters of the book 
in separate ODT files. Master Book then puts all the chapters into one unit.
      A couple of other possibilities are:  your computer may need more 
RAM, or you should change the settings in Tools -> Options -> 
OpenOffice.org -> Memory.
      Here are the Memory settings that I use when writing long 
documents: Number of steps, 20; Use for OpenOffice.org, 256 MB; Memory 
per object, 1 MB; Remove from Memory after, 1:00 (1 hour); Number of 
objects, 252. I use quite a few graphics in my writing, and that is the 
reason for the object settings. If you don't use graphics, you could 
probably reduce the settings for objects.
