Hello, The UI (User Interface) of Mac OS is called Aqua, and the Mac porting team has been busy the last months (years?) to make a version of OpenOffice.org that functions directly through this UI and has a 'look and feel' like it. The older version of OOo that uses the X11 windowing program to make OOo 'visible' on Mac is still functioning, but apparently, the last Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) update comes with a version of X11 that doesn't let OOo function properly... The official release of OOo 3.0.0 is expected in the next few weeks, as soon as it has passed QA testing. Hopefully the Mac Aqua version will pass those tests succesfully! In the meanwhile, the RC1 is quite OK, with the precautions I already mentioned. -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 RC1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 RC1 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
