Unless you have very specific needs (such as working with QuickTime
files in Impress) and until he OpenOffice releases an Aqua version of
their suite for Mac OS X, I'd recommend NeoOffice (
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php ) . It uses native
Mac fonts, is fully integrated with Mac GUI and menu bar, uses Mac-
style shortcuts (e.g. command+V rather than Control+V to paste) and
does not require X11. It's also integrated with Spotlight, so you can
search text all supported file formats, including ODF, directly in
Spotlight. This is controversial as two NeoOffice developers who
ported OpenOffice to the Mac using Java for some GUI integration
don't see eye to eye with the Sun establishment.
On my (Intel) MacBook with 1GB RAM NeoOffice is fairly snappy (though
sometimes fails to respond for a few seconds after switching from
another application) and faithfully opens, edits and saves all Word,
Excel and PowerPoint files MS Office users send my way.
