If not then OOo won't work anyway. So. Go to: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html Scroll down and find: OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11) Click on it to get to the download page. There are links there for installing Apple's X11 and how to use it. Fink has much info on this also. Click on the: Current Stable 2.0.x Line This gets you to the download link so click on "download" and you get to the mirrors. Pick the one closest to you and click on it and the download will start after a message asking you where you want to save the download. It may be that your browser is set to automatically download to a certain directory and the message won't pop up. In the previous links, read the installation instructions specific to Mac. It's not hard.
