Re: ack! Mac Viewing Issues

I've had a similar problem with OOo on the Mac. Got about 170 pages of a 200+ page report done, and the program wouldn't save the file. It started the aberrant behavior you describe. I closed the file, and opened it in NeoOffice, a dedicated Mac version of OOO. Worked fine. Find NeoOffice at
