Hello Sylvia, I have OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 running on my MacBook PowerPC (G4) with Tiger (10.4). Did you download the right version (PPC) ? It's not always easy to find Mac versions. I got mine from the Good-Day site. It's actually the 'release candidate no.2 , but in this case this release candidate was identical to the final version of 3.0.1. There was no real 'official version' of OOo 3.0.1 for Mac PPC, becaus ethe're weren't enough people to test it, but it works just fine. You can download it from the Good-Day site: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.1rc2/ scroll down the list till you find OOo_3.0.1rc2_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg<http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.1rc2/OOo_3.0.1rc2_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg> i.e. the one without language or locale details, that's the US-English version. Download, then double click on the .dmg and copy OOo to your Applications/programs folder. Success! -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
