... These openoffice filess will be changed often and may be large. I think that ZODB keeps all old copies of a file each time it changes. Changing large openoffice documents all the time would make the ZODB huge, right? Can I make ZODB only store the most recent version of these files, instead of keeping a history of all the versions?

No, but you can frequently (e.g. daily) pack the ZODB storage. Packing means to discard non current versions older than a specified date. -- Dieter
