MacIntel? In anycase you have the wrong version. i.e. MacOS != Windows. Please point your browser at http://www.openoffice.org/ click the "Get OpenOffice.org" button only this time choose "Macintosh" in the OS list and choose the Mac page. Once there, you may choose whatever is appropriate for the architecture of your machine. If it is MacIntel, you will have to choose the 2.0.x link near the bottom of the list as OOo for this architecture is a development release that is quite stable and useful. I recommend that you read both of these guides in the order given: http://eric.bachard.free.fr/mac/HowTo2.0/Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf > > If i have downloaded wrong documents can you let me > know.

However, if you are really trying to run Windows applications on your Mac then you will likely have to ask Apple support for assistance. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
