What's easier and doesn't involve a change to the preferences is to right-click on the app and select Open.

Re: OpenOffice doesn't work
Hi John, I've had this problem several times in the past. By default Apple has changed the security settings to only allow installation of apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. To change this permanently or temporarily go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. On the General Tab click the little lock in the lower left corner to unlock the general preference pane. Then select the Anywhere radio button beneath Allow applications downloaded from: You can then change you preferences back after installing Open Office or any other reliable software you need.

Re: OpenOffice doesn't work
John, Right-click (control-click) OpenOffice Icon. In pop up menu choose open. From now on you should be able to open App. Steve Sent from my iPad On Jan 6, 2017, at 5:36 PM, John Gasaway wrote: > I updated from MacOS Yosemite to Sierra.

OpenOffice doesn't work
I updated from MacOS Yosemite to Sierra. OpenOffice started failing to open. I was running v4.0. I downloaded v4.1.2 and it won’t start. I get a dialog box stating: “OpenOffice” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers. Safari downloaded this file today at 8:29 PM from sourceforge.net. OpenOffice is not available from the App Store. Please help me get it running. Sincerely, John Gasaway
