Hello Jim, This is more a question for [email protected] - you might want to subscribe to that list. It depends a bit on what version of Mac OS you have. 10.4 and up is no problem. For Panther (10.3) there is an older version of OpenOffice.org that works. For Jaguar (10.2), OOo is more like a vintage car... Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard (10.4->10.6) official version for a Mac G4 (PowerPC) is still 2.4: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US but you can get a quite trustworthy 'release candidate' of the newest OOo 3.1.1 here: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.1.1rc2_20090827/ the US_english version is 6th on the list (between md5 and _af) Panther (quoting from a recent mail from Larry Gusaas): The last version for Panther is OO.o 2.1.0. The US English version is available from the archive site: http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/openoffice-archive/stable/2.1.0/ (if you don't mind downloading from former Eastern Germany... :-)) HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Snow Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
