Office"
KEEP GETTING THE MESSAGE THAT ONLY APPS FROM THE APPLE STORE CAN BE OPENED AND
USED AND YOUR PGM IS NOT OFFERED BY THE APPS STORE, SO HOW DO I DOWNLOAD AND
USE APACHE OPEN OFFICE???
Using ALL CAPITALS is considered the equivalent of shouting and is very rude.
If you had read the release notes for Apache OpenOffice you would have seen this under "Known
Issues"
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.5+Release+Notes#AOO4.1.5ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues
For macOS users:
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 will be flagged by the Gatekeeper facility in Mac OS
X. This is a
feature to help guard against malware on recent Mac OS X systems.
For Mac OS X up to 10.11 "El Capitan": There is a procedure laid out at the
following link
to allow applications not installed from the Mac App store to run. See the
Mac support article.
For Mac OS X 10.12 "Sierra": In Finder, Control-click or right click the
icon of the app.
Select Open from the top of contextual menu that appears. Click Open in the
dialog box. If
prompted, enter an administrator name and password.This is needed just the
first time you
launch Apache OpenOffice.
Due to a known bug in Oracle Java installations of Apache OpenOffice on OS X
that do not
have the legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be able to recognize Oracle
Java 7 and 8.
If not able to upgrade to Java 9 than install the legacy version of Apple
Java from the
following link: Legacy Apple Java 6. This will allow the portions of AOO
that require Java
to run properly.
