You are dead right! After I installed X11 from the Tiger Installation disc, OpenOffice works, albeit very slowly. Its a little confusing at first as the first thing you see is the X11 command screen and you wonder "What the heck is this". However I noticed the OO icon in the Dock, clicked on it and away we went. It took an age for the program to open and for a new page to open. I hope that this will change when I use it for th second time!!
Hello Piers, I'm afraid OOo will continue to wake up rather slow on a Mac. I hope this will change when the developers will succeed in making it work without X11. There is another thread at this mailinglist comparing and discussing speeds of M$ and OOo, but I think that's silly: this issue is not speed, but Open Document vs. proprietory software. A helping community, users have a say in new enhancements, etc. -- Guy
