Hello Joseph Please take a look at the Mac pages of OpenOffice.org: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ in particular the How-To install http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf To be brief: yes, OpenOffice.org can run on your Mac. There are different versions for the PPC and the Intel Mac (check on your computer: apple-icon top left > about this Mac > processor) You will have to install the X11 windowing program (X11User.pkg from your Mac OS X 10.4.x installation disks - you can use Spotlight - icon top right on your screen - to locate the package on your install disks) You mention Safari, that is Apple's internet browser. To download OpenOffice.org it is advisable not to use Safari because the download often runs into problems. You can download a Mozilla browser, Firefox, for free ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) The download of OOo start here: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-104.html Come back to this users list with any more questions about installing and using OpenOffice.org and Good Luck! -- 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
