I am operating a Mac system with the OS of 10.4.10.
I currently use Open Office 2.2, with X11. All works fine.
Now, I am ready to download version Open Office 2.3. However,
before I do
that, I will be upgrading to the Mac Operating System 10.5. Also,
it seems
to me that I can now download Open Office 2.3 without using X11.
Before I start something that I will regret, could someone please
take me
through the steps so I can minimize my frustration and errors?
I don't have access to Leopard, so can only speculate as to
installing it. I would think that most people would be fine just
putting it on top of their existing Tiger system. You will most
likely need to check the optional installs to see if it includes an
updated X11. You see, OO 2.3 is not the version which will run in
Aqua - that's OO 3.0, due sometime next year. In any case, the 2.3
dmg provides you with an application bundle named "OpenOffice.org
2.3.app" which you can drag wherever you like. You can park it right
next to 2.2 and have your choice of versions, if you wish. An alias
to /Applications is provided for your convenience. So you can
actually upgrade OO while you're waiting for the OSX upgrade...
