I have recently installed Open Office 2.3 on my Mac, which is

I should like to build a database, but when I try I get a message to

Java is suposedly installed on any Mac.
You may need to let OpenOffice.org know where your Java is installed.

programs are listed. At least that is the case on Windows and Linux.
When you
go there, OOo will take some time looking for an installed Java. If
it then
appears, make sure the radio button has a dot in it. Otherwise,
click it to
create the dot.
Dan,
This is usually unnecessary with Mac because Java come preinstalled in
expected locations.
Keith,
To ensure that Java is properly installed, open the Terminal
application (located in the Application folder, within the Utilities
subfolder) and type the following string at the prompt:
java -version
Then hit RETURN.
The Terminal should display something like:
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-
b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)
Would you mind indicating what your output is ?
