Hello, There seems to be a problem with the latest updates of X11. I have the same problem. X11 2.1.1 worked fine, but with 2.1.2 somehow it doesn't work. I guess you have three options: • use TimeMachine to revert to X11 2.1.1 if you ever had that version installed on your Mac • another solution is to start OOo from a Terminal: (mail from Anton Rang, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) > I don't know why the OpenOffice applet doesn't work (the same's true > on my machine), but until we figure that out, you can open a Terminal > window and type: > > /Applications/OpenOffice.org\ 2.3.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice & > > That will start OpenOffice directly, without the (unnecessary) script > that starts X11 first. > (you find terminal in your applications>utilities but I haven't tried out this solution. • a third option is to install the Aqua version of OpenOffice.org that doesn't need X11, but is still not considered stable enough for 'serious' work (it works fine on my MacBook Pro) http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/aqua.html HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
