Yeah, X11 is a pain. I am assuming that you tried the downloaded version of X11. That doesn't work, you have to get it from your install disk that should have come with your mac. Just pop the disk in your drive, and in the Finder window, scroll down (this is key--I didn't realize I had to scroll down and it took me a week to figure it out), and there should be a package of "Optional Installs". Just open that up and follow the instructions. Once you do that, OOo should work. If you don't want to go through that trouble, NeoOffice is a mac-native program based on OOo that doesn't need X11 and runs just like any other mac app. I actually have both...
