Hi Tom,Thank you for trying to assist me downloading Openoffice. I followed the directions you gave me and still could not download the program. After clicking on Tiger I then clicked on Intel. There isn't a dmg file on my desktop. Could it be going elsewhere? I am not sure what to do now. The version I am using is Mac Os X 10.4.9. My computer is a new one and it is an Imac. Thanks for your help. I understand this is a very good program and would like to use it.

Firefox, Camino, Seamonkey and Mozilla (all from www.mozilla.com ) are free browsers and might make your surfing life much more agreeable. • Downloading shouldn't be too difficult: go to http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11.html choose your Mac OS X version (Panther or Tiger probably), (if Tiger: chose PPC or Intel) and start the download. • once the download is completed, doubleclick on the diskimage (dmg file) and drag the OOo icon to your Programs/Applications folder. That should do it! Post your question here if you can't get the installation done. Please indicate OS version and possible error messages. Good luck -- Guy Jeannie,
Please reply to the list ([email protected]), as others may be able to help you. The dmg file should go where other downloads go... maybe look for it with Spotlight (the blue circle with magnifying glass, top right). You can look for something like MacOSXIntel_install HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
