Re: [users] Can OOo be used on a Mac?
Dear List: As far as I know, Oo can run on a mac, Tiger and up. However Mac has gone several steps beyond Tiger by now, so If his OS is Tiger, he may need to use an older version. Also if he needs to share data with file systems other than HFS or HFS+, he will need to deal with spiltting and reassembling the mac fork for each Mac file, no matter what the application.

The PowerPC version will not work on his Mac. When you download the file, it will be a *.dmg file. Double click it which opens a window with some icons. Two of those icons is the Applications folder and the OpenOffice.org.app file. Drag this file onto the Applications folder to install OOo. Close the window. Click on the desktop and then type these keys simultaneously: Apple key + N. The Apple keys have a picture of an apple on it. The left side of the window that opens has a list of locations on your Mac. One of them has the same name as the new icon that appeared earlier. After this name is the Eject button. Click the Eject button to remove the icon. Then close the window. Dan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
