Yes, I was apparently mistaken and the built in support is only via export, while print to pdf has to be supplied by an OS resource.

Re: MAC OS - Still cannot eliminate OO icon from Mac desktop when program running
You neglected a step in the installation process: "Double-click the .dmg file. After verifying the file, the Mac will display a screen which shows OpenOffice.app, then an arrow, then an Applications folder. Drag the OpenOffice.app icon on that screen into the Applications folder icon on that screen." You moved OpenOffice.dmg into your application folder instead of OpenOffice.app. Open OpenOffice.dmg. I the window that opens drag the OpenOffice.app icon onto the Application icon. You can them close the window and eject OpenOffice.org. If you cannot see the file extension names (.org & .app), open Finder. On your menu bar click Finder. Then in the drop down menu click Preferences. Then click on Advanced. Then select "Show all filename extensions".

Re: MAC OS - Still cannot eliminate OO icon from Mac desktop when program running
Dan, I don't know how you did it, but you do not have the OpenOffice *application* in your Applications folder. (You could [single] click on that icon and type Cmd-I [File > Get Info]. If I were a betting person, I would bet the Kind is "Volume", not "Application".) Furthermore, I can't imagine how clicking on the disk icon would go directly to the application. You need to remove whatever "OpenOffice" icon you have in the Applications folder, and start over. After double-clicking on the downloaded dmg file, a window named "OpenOffice" will open. *Staying totally in that* *window*, drag the icon "OpenOffice.app" and drop it on top of the "Applications" icon *in that window*. Then, when you open the Applications folder, you should see "OpenOffice.app" (with a size of about 400MB), and Get Info will show it as an Application. I just thought of another possible source of confusion. You have two Applications folders that can come into play. One is the "system" Applications folder (e.g., at the path /Macintosh HD/Applications), and one is in your "personal" Applications folder (e.g., at the path /Macintosh HD/Users//Applications). You want the OpenOffice app to be in the "system" folder. However, regardless of which Applications folder contains the "mystery" file, I don't understand the behavior you describe.

Everything above is what I go through each time I quit OO. The disk icon never goes away while OO is open.If I try to eject the OO disk on the desktop, a message says because OO files are opened, I have to Force Eject. This would terminate the OO program, until I relaunch it. On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 10:46:17 AM PDT, Dave Fisher wrote: Quit OpenOffice. Open the Application Folder.

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES
Yes, I primarily use my Mac. I guess I assumed that Windoz was the same. Just tried on my Windoz machine and the choice came up as a printer at the top of the print dialogue. Thanks for alerting me to the difference.

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES
Perhaps he's using a Mac, on which the print dialog for all(?) applications (definitely including OpenOffice) provides the ability to "print to PDF".

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES
I generally generate PDFs from the print dialogue: from File menu choose Print, in bottom left corner there’s a button to start the PDF dialogue which allows you to name the file and where you want to save it.

Re: MAC OS - Still cannot eliminate OO icon from Mac desktop when program running
Dan, It appears that that you are opening the OpenOffice program from within the downloaded dmg file (i.e., from the window described below). That file contains a virtual disk that contains the program and other files. You are supposed to copy the OpenOffice program from that virtual disk to the Applications folder on your computer. The steps for installing OpenOffice on a Mac are as follows: 1. Download the OpenOffice distribution file Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg. 2. Double click on the icon for the dmg file (i.e., wherever it got downloaded to), which will (a) mount the virtual disk contained in the dmg file, which creates an "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and (b) display the virtual disk's contents in a window named "OpenOffice" (which is the "screen" referenced in the instructions that you quoted). 3. *In that "OpenOffice" window*, drag the "OpenOffice.app" icon to the "Applications" icon (also in that window—it is an alias for the actual Applications folder). (You appear to have dragged the "OpenOffice" icon from the desktop to the Applications folder, which is not the same thing—different name and different source location.) 4.

Quit OpenOffice. Open the Application Folder. Open the OpenOffice that’s in the Application folder. You should now be able to eject the DMG.

MAC OS - Still cannot eliminate OO icon from Mac desktop when program running
Greetings, Still trying to get the OO icon off of desktop when OO is running. Did not have an icon on desktop when I used Word. Again, followed every detail of installing on Mac per instructions of : (Q03/AQ03)Tutorial] Mac FAQ Apache OO Community Forum by MrProgrammer 6/27/17) •Waited for Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg to finish loading. •OO icon appeared on desktop. •Dragged OO icon on desktop into Applications folder as per instructions: "Drag the OpenOffice.app icon on that screen into the Applications folder icon on that screen. Macs don't need an "install" program for this application." (Please see screen shots of OO in Finder's Application Folder and in desktop Applications Folder). •Clicked on OO icon to start OO. Program started running and could use. BUT ... •Followed additional instructions: " Use File → Eject "OpenOffice" (the dmg file). Either delete the file with the dmg extension or put it in a safe place in the rare case that you want to reinstall it later without re-downloading. Sure about this? If I deleted this .dmg file, then OO operating system no longer available. •End result: OO gray icon remain on desktop, when program running. (Even though I initially dragged it into Applications Folder). Thanks for any clarification from the Macintosh tech side.
