I have had open office 2.4 for my mac since March 08 and has run well.
I recently upgraded from OS 10.2 panther to OS 10.5 leopard.
Ever since open office wont start. I get the message "command timed out"
The X11 opens fine.

Is there an upgrade for this? Or is it just not compatible. I looked
around your website but didnt find anything.


I'm not a Mac user, but as I understand it, Apple updated the operating
system and in the process broke X11 support which version 2.x requires. You can update to OOo V3, which does not require X11. A new version
should be out shortly, so you may want to wait for it.

Karen / Deb, do you have an Intel Mac or a PPC Mac?

If it's an Intel Mac, you can get OOo 3 from  the downloads page at OOo.

If it's a PPC Mac, you'll find that only 2.4.0 is listed for PPC on that page. However, you can get OOo3 for PPC Mac here (scroll down the list below the Intel versions to find the PPC versions):
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/

Note: RC4 is the same as the final release version.
Note: The US English version does not have _en-US in the filename. The US English filename is <OOo_3.0.0rc4_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg>
