2007/11/15, Scott Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I didn't see any updates for downloading OpenOffice with the new Mac
OS, but I may have missed them. Is there going to be an updated
version for the Leopard OS coming out soon? Should the Tiger OS
version work just as well?

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

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)
