There are two versions of OOo for the Mac, one requiring installation of X-windows for the display, and another called Neo-office-J, which is Java based and uses the native Mac display. Many seem to prefer the latter. I am not a Mac user myself, but there are a few who inhabit the mailing list if you have problems Please reply ONLY to users@openoffice.org Russell --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
