The problem for huge values is not Writer but Calc. For example, make a 
sheet with row height 10cm on all rows. Insert a shape in A2000 and look 
at the position information in the status bar. (Shapes are anchored to 
page as default). Then insert a shape in A3000 and look again, then in 
A10000. And the sheet goes up to A1048576!

Kind regards
