Opinions? Use what will work for you now. It'll likely work just the same when you move to the Intel Mac. If you like it now, you'll probably like it just as much later on.

It seems to me that some versions of OS X included X11. But NeoOffice was developed so you wouldn't have to jump through extra hoops. So I agree, stick with NeoOffice. Art Clemons wrote: 1.

You're better off with NeoOffice, unless you have installed X11 or are willing to install X11 on your Mac. OpenOffice up until 3.0 required X11 to function on the Mac, which is why NeoOffice exists. It's also a port of OpenOffice. It's similar in function to OpenOffice, just a port for the Mac. It works as is, why mess with it? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

The X11 software was on the installation disk for OSX,4- Tiger but you needed find it and to install it. -- John Duncan Yoyo ---o) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] NeoOffice 3.0/Mac PPC or Intel vs. OpenOffice 2.4/Mac PPC vs. OpenOffice 3.1/Mac Intel ?
1. I have an iMac PPC. Some (day? year?) I'll buy an iMac Intel. 2. The latest version of NeoOffice is 3.0, and it runs on Mac PPC and Mac Intel. 3. The latest version of OpenOffice is 3.1, and it runs on Mac Intel but not Mac PPC. 4. The latest version of OpenOffice that runs on Mac PPC is 2.4. I think that for now I'm better off using NeoOffice 3.0 rather than OpenOffice 2.4, and that when I get an iMac Intel, evaluate switching from NeoOffice X.Y to OpenOffice X.(Y+1). Opinions? If I do switch to OpenOffice, will there be difficult file conversion issues? Should I therefore start with OpenOffice 2.4? Or is NeoOffice best regardless of microprocessor? Opinions? What about file conversion issues between NeoOffice MS Office? What about file conversion issues between OpenOffice MS Office? I searched OpenOffice.org for answers, but didn't find much. FYI: Ratings from PC Magazine: Office Suites - Archive OpenOffice.org 3.0 Editor: 3.5/5 Readers: 4/5 MS Office 2008 for Mac Editor: 3/5 Readers: 1/5 Thanks in advance.
