The file size is of 50 MB (OpenOffice file). While opening the file the system hangs completely.

Processor : Core 2 Duo

RAM : 1 GB

HDD : 250 GB

OS : Ubuntu 10.10

Note: I have tried LibreOffice too. I experience the same problem both in OpenOffice and in LibreOffice. Any other alternative way to open the file?

There are a couple of programs that can open odf files, at least KofficeInstall Koffice and AbiwordInstall Koffice should be able to open it.

You can also try to open it with Google Docs and save it again.

Anyway, you should open a bug in OpenOffice and attach the file there if it's possible (i.e. it's not confidential or personal).

wow! how did you get a libreoffice file so massive?! a 100,000 word book is only about 200kb. try alternate text editors such as gedit, koffice, abiword etc. if none of them open it then there's a problem with the file, not the office suite. also try opening it with libreoffice again. the afforementioned book crashed it twice, then it worked the third time.

by the way, Libreoffice and Openoffice are pretty much identical at this point of Libre's development. it has only just split from Openoffice and Oracle.
