Hi,





Beware:

The current Apache OpenOffice version is 4.1.15 and I just tested it on our developer machine with macOS 15 (Sequoia) on a M1 processor. It installs and runs great with Rosetta 2. At the moment we only provide the Intel version. If you need additional functionality through JAVA runtime, please also install the Intel version, e.g.: https://adoptium.net/de/temurin/releases/?version=11&os=mac&arch=x64&package=jre

Regards,

Did you try OpenOffice 4.15.3 on your M3? As I understand it OpenOffice should run fine with Rosetta.

Best,
Dave

I’ve been a devoted OpenOffice user for 14 years on a Windows PC and one of my reasons for selecting it was its portability to other platforms, specifically Mac. I recently bought an iMac with the M3 processor and subsequently learned that OpenOffice is only supported on Intel Macs. I have hundreds of ODT files that I depend on and I dread having to keep the Windows PC for as long as it would take for me to save all the ODTs to a DOC format and return to using MS Office on the Mac. I'm hoping you can give me a timeframe for when there will be a port to the M chips.
