Open Office is a great program and I use it on my Windows XP laptop.
But...
I'm also using the latest version of Mac OSX 10.4 on an Intel iMac.
And, I'd like to put Open Office on my Mac.
The problem is...
The instructions for installing the program on the Mac are rather
cryptic. First, there needs to be a more straight forward web page to
direct the user to the appropriate download link. Second, there is a
serious need for a more simplified, step by step set of instructions.
As it is, the instructions that do exist, leave the user to guess at
various stages of the process. And even worse, the documentation that
is available does not seem to match in any way the actual process. At
this point, I've not gotten further than clicking on various links.
Nothing has worked at all, including the download itself, let alone
an actual "install" of any given file. And the name of the file that
would begin the installation is not found (in the finder or anywhere
else) and not specified in any of the links or documentation. I'm
lost. And I'm not sure whether it's because I've suddenly become
stupid (which is a definite possibility) or whether dimentia has set in.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
