for MacBook (correctedquestion)":
(I sent a previous email, but I don't think it was clear.)
Hello ~ I used Open Office 3.4.1 on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8
I just bought a Mac OS Sierra, version 10.12.5
I would like to download Open Office onto this computer.
Please tell me which Open Office to choose.
Thank you very much for your help.
All the Best,
Jill Wirth
The latest version of Apache OpenOffice will work on your Mac.
Download it from: http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Also from the release notes known issues
athttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.3+Release+Notes#AOO4.1.3ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues
For macOSusers:
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 will be flagged by the Gatekeeper facility in
Mac OS X. This is a feature to help guard against malware on recent
Mac OS X systems.
For Mac OS X up to 10.11 "El Capitan": There is a procedure laid
out at the following link to allow applications not installed from
the Mac App store to run. See the Mac support article.
For Mac OS X 10.12 "Sierra": In Finder, Control-click or right
click the icon of the app. Select Open from the top of contextual
menu that appears. Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted,
enter an administrator name and password.This is needed just the
first time you launch Apache OpenOffice.
Due to a known bug in Oracle Java installations of Apache OpenOffice
on OSX that do not have the legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be
able to recognize Oracle Java 7, 8, and possibly 9. The work around
until the Java bug is fixed is to install the legacy version of Apple
Java from the following link: LegacyApple Java 6. This
will allow the portions of AOO that require Java to run properly.
