Hello Bob, OpenOffice.org (newest version is 2.3 -and 2.3.1 should be released any day now) runs on Leopard and on PPC as well as Intel Macs. There were some problems because the Leopard version of the X11 windowing program you need to run OOo wasn't yet up to its task. After a series of bug fixes and updates, it seems that X11 is now functioning OK. So you better update Leopard to 10.5.1 and look for newer X11 updates at http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki I see they are at release 2.1.1 already! Take a look at the Mac porting pages http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ and download from here: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-104-Intel.html HTH - 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
