Please do *not* start a new question by replying to an old one as this
causes several problems:
1. most email software will correctly think that your email is a
response to the email you are "replying" to, and will indicate
this by displaying your email as a child of the original email
2. because of this, people not interested in the original email may
ignore your question
3. people may think that the original email has a reply(yours) so
that they do not have to give it a reply
So in conclusion, more people will read your email if it looks like the
start of a new thread rather than the reply to an old one.

I do not have a Mac so this suggestion may be all wet. I suggest that
you see if the installer program has an option to force the installation
of X11.
THere is another option open to you, though. That is to try downloading
and installing NeoOffice.
( http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html )
Since the base for this program is 1.1.5 it will read the odt files
produced by the working machine.
