Thank you for your email, Sigrid.
I have Mac OS 10.4.11.
When I first tried to open OpenOffice, an error message came up that
X11 was required. After I installed X11, that message no longer
appeared.
Whenever I try to open OpenOffice, it finds X11 and opens it; the
icons for both programs appear in the dock, and then the OpenOffice
icon vanishes.
Best,
Stephenie

Hi Stephenie,

Dear OpenOffice
I installed the X11 program. I installed Openoffice from the
OpenOffice
disk. I copied it into Applications. When I try to open it, the
icon
springs to life on the dock, the icon for what I presume is X11
appears --
and then OpenOffice closes down, and icon vanishes.
first, I don't have a Mac, so my instructions might not be 100 %
correct. :)
Please help me. I'm not computer savvy, the user-support
questions and
answers are Swahili to me, and I don't know what to do. I lost
three hours
last night trying to install Openoffice on my Mac, and got nowhere.
What we need to know, is which version of Mac OS X do you have? I'm
sure, there is somewhere an "about" information, that tells you that
you run Mac OS X 10.6.4 or something similar.
Second, which version of OOo did you download? If you don't know this,
can you give us the website, where you've downloaded the software?
Third, as far as I know, if you have both a recent version of OOo and
of OS X, then you don't need to install X11, since OOo can run
natively on OS X.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Please answer the above questions, so that we can help you further.
And please reply to the list only. Thanks.
Sigrid
