Hello Sam, Just to be sure on the versions side: • did you install X11 for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x; 10.3.9 in your case), available at the Apple website? http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html version is 1.0 (see X11 > About X11) • did you install OpenOffice.org 2.1.0, the most recent running on Panther (OOo 2.4 doesn't run on Panther, only on newer Mac OS X's, Tiger and Leopard, 10.4 and 10.5) http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-103.html Only the combination of these versions will run on your Mac PowerPC with Panther. If you have these installed, something else must be wrong... come back to this list if this is the case. -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 (and older) 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
