Is there any difference between the two programs?

I managed to instal OpenOffice, but you have to instal X11 first (from the DVD), and it is true it isn't as neat as a native app. This link is helpful http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/

I spoke to one of the French developers the other day, and he said a native version of OpenOffice is imminent. There are issues with the Apple font handler, but work is nearly complete. I don't have a definite date for release. There are links from the .../mac site to the French development site, and they seem to be doing a lot of work on the Mac version. If your command of French is reasonable you can chat to them on the IRC channel.

Vive le développement!

You have two options:

1. Jump through hoops trying to install X11 so you can run OpenOffice.org, which can be difficult if you're as dense as I am when it comes to Finder windows, or 2. Download Neooffice from neooffice.org, which installs just like any Mac application, and runs like one, too, without any annoying runtime environments like X11 getting in the way.
