Ok, so I am brand new to even looking at Open Office, but my brother
in-law is very convincing. To complicate matters I've had my new iMac
(Leopard v. 10.5.2) for about a month (long time windows user).
So I downloaded the aqua version of OO (I understand that's a "pre-
release" version and will have some issues). As I understood it, I
don't have to download the x11 (honestly, I'm not even sure that is or
what it means).
After the download completed, I copied it to my Applications folder.
When I launch the application, the splash screen comes and the
progress indicator seems to proceed normally. However, when I go to
start a new document (word process and spreadsheet), it thinks about
it for a moment and then it comes up with an error message the the
program crashed.
I willing to guess that I've probably missed some simple and painfully
obvious step that makes the whole thing work perfectly.
Any help and/or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you.
Tim
