Hello, Yes OOo 2.3 runs on Leopard quoting from a recent post by Leslie Wright: <quote> It already is. The version that works with X11 on 10.4 (Tiger) also works with X11 on 10.5 (Leopard), though alas not as smoothly since there are problems with the new X11. I have grown increasingly concerned about the instability of th new X11, so I must admit that I have "defected" to NeoOffice (www.neooffice.org), which is a very nice port of OOo to the MacOS that is under continual development. It is not perfect, and the developers warn us of that. It is also NOT an official OpenOffice product, though thanks to the wonders of open source software it looks and acts very much like OOo. I think we diehard Mac types are looking forward to a proper version OOo that works directly in the Mac OS, the so called Aqua version. There is a pretty buggy alpha release to experiment with on the OOo website, but it isn't stable enough yet to be depended on for serious work. hth, Les </quote> Personally, I'm sticking with OOo 2.3 under X11 on Tiger until the X11 saga is solved, rather than switching to NeoOffice... For updates for X11 or Xquartz: http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin (actually at update 11: 1.2a11) -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo 2.3 RC 3 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
