2 clicks and answers to 3 questions (yes I suppose they also constitute as clicks) will get to above page.
> It talks about requirements to run the X11 version of OpenOffice, but > provides no clue as to whether the X11 version is the *only* version > and thus I must install X11, or if it's an alternate version of > OpenOffice.
"In order to run the OpenOffice.org X11 advanced and legacy releases you need an installed X11. For more information about X11 read our FAQ and Apple's X11 website" from : http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html

It's already installed and it works. > > -MBJ- Thanks for the feedback...
