Just for your information, here is official OpenOffice.org project,
exactly Mac OS X port of OpenOffice.org. For more informations, see our
"Home" page : http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/
Hi, I have to regularly use greek
symbols and I have traditionally used the insert symbol command in MS
Office which works on both the Mac and Windows versions of MS Office.
These symbols do not show up in NeoOffice but they do work on OpenOffice
for Windows.
Two version of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X are existing ( both for Intel
and PowerPC ) :
- OpenOffice.org 2.x ( 2.2 will arrive soon ), using X11 is our stable
version
- OpenOffice.org Aqua (no more X11, with Aqua look and feel) , under
intensive development, but not yet publically available ( public
versions to be tested are scheduled somewhere in 2007 )
Another name for Aqua version we often use is "native version" of
OpenOffice.org.
For more informations about the work in progress, please have a look at :
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/news/2007/20070203toptenbeforealpha.html

One more thing, I don't really understand what the difference is between
an aqua version of OO and NeoOffice-
Very important differences in the code, in the main graphical dedicated
part (vcl) : NeoOffice uses Java , while OpenOffice.org Aqua will use
Apple Carbon API.
This is mainly a technical choice.
Aqua means the "Look", and for most Mac users, the "Feel" too. The look
and feel is exactly the same using Carbon or Cocoa. Carbon offers more
possibilities, but is less easy to write code than Cocoa.
OpenOffice.org Aqua will use Carbon API. Doing so ( using ATSUI,
CoreGraphics, HIView, CoreText maybe ..etc ), native version of
OpenOffice.org will use the most up to date Apple code.
(For the developers, we try to document everything we do. See :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Aqua )
are they part of the same project
or is NeoOffice made by different developers than OO?
Yes, and one more time people are confused with that again and again :
NeoOffice is not OpenOffice.org project : this is a fork, means another
project ( other name, other license ).
Thank-you in advance for your help,
You're welcome :-)
