From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To run Open Office on a Mac you need to install X11 which you can download from Apple's web site for free or install from your Tiger DVD -- do a custom install and pick X11. Before you do either of those things -- goto www.neoffice,org and download a much more Mac Like version of Open Office, the install is easier and the application is much more "mac like" .
