Hi - I'm a clueless newbie; MS Word is crashing on my MB Pro; someone
suggested using Open Office.
When I try to open the app, I get a window that says I need X11
The OO website says:
Installing X11 for Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard)
X11 comes pre-installed on Mac OSX 10.5, so you can install
OpenOffice.org
directly.
On the Apple site, it says that X11 is in my Utilities Folder. If
so, it's
not under that name. When I download it, I get a message that I cannot
install it; newer software exists on my computer.
So you see the cycle of failure. Any way that I can install and use
Open
Office?
Older versions of OSX required you to download, and if you downloaded
it, it's that older version you got. Leopard puts it on the OSX DVDs;
install it from there.
