This was taken from here:

Start Open Office and click on Tools > Options. This should open the configuration. Click on Memory in the left menu and change the following settings:

Number of Steps: 30
Use for Open Office: 128
Memory per Object: 20
Number of Objects: 20

And how to disable java, which I don't recommend for the portableapps install.

I did it, and it works.

I have tried to run Open Office 2.21 with four different XP Prof based laptop and in two desktop system (XP Pro and Vista). I think Portable Open Office is still quite unstable and can't be used for serious work. In my system Portable Open Office is installed to default directory to new fast Cosair Voyager GT 8GB USB stix. The most frustrating experience was a lost spreadsheet after a couple hours of work when PC freezed when I was saving the work.

I tryed this, and all works good: Menu, Help file, and "Thesaurus" also are translated.

1) Download your language pack paying attention to select right version: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/OpenOffice/extended/
(Untill now (Sept. 24, 2007) you should download 2.2.1rc2 version in order to be compatible with the current downloadable version of OpenOffice portable (2.2.1.): http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/OpenOffice/extended/2.2.1rc2/
