I use the Dutch version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 on my PowerBook (G4, Tiger) without problem. I'm not sure what may cause your problems... I quote from a mail in the French users list ([email protected]): about the famous method that solves almost anything... Quit OOo (and the Quickstarter - probably not on Mac) Rename the prefs file Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org (c:\documents and settings\Application Data\<nom d'usager>\Openoffice.org) or put that file elsewhere, e.g. on the desktop Restart OOo OOo will make new preferences and maybe that will solve your problem... I post this answer on the users list, not on the mac list that is more for mac developers. I send you a copy, since you're apparently subscribed to neither of these lists. -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
