Re: Installation Problems.

I would be wary of getting it on a CD these days. There are more than a few vendors that will sell you a CD with Open Office on it. However, the CD may have other little nasties on it as well most of which you do not want. If you have to pay for the software beware. “ *Avoid pronouncing the

Re: Problem with Open Office before and after installing new update

​I myself have had the spell check problem under OSX and the solution given by the users group resolved it. That is the only problem I have had with AOO other than a few odd quirks that, to no surprise, others also experienced. In my past I have worked with at least 5 different pieces of writing
