Hello Catherine, Can you specify which update from Apple caused this? Did you update from Tiger to Leopard (OSX 10.4.x to OSX 10.5.x) ? Was it an update to a newer version of Leopard (10.5.x tot 10.5.1/2/3 or 4) ? The X11 utility that OpenOffice.org needs to present your work on the screen is different in the Tiger version (X11 version 1.1.3 normally) and the Leopard one. For Leopard, the x.org group developed a X11 new utility (also called XQuartz), and when the first Leopard came out, it didn't really function yet, at least not with OOo. In the last 8 months ir so, several updates have been developed, from version 2 to 2.3 already (see http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases) Because the Tiger X11 and the Leopard one are different, reinstalling version 1.1.3 won't help when you have Leopard now. If you moved to Leopard, you should update to the latest version of Leopard (10.5.4), that includes X11 updates too - and if that doesn't solve the problem you have these options: • start X11 (from Programs/Utilities) before you start OOo • update X11 to the latest version (from the xquartz releases site above) • forget about the X11 altogether and install the (still experimental) Aqua version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.0. It's the beta-2 version, with a link on the opening page of www.openoffice.org. A direct link is here: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/ open the beta-2 and choose either PPC or Intel Mac, and the language (US-english is without the _en at the end - NOT the SDK!!). You might want _it or _fr I use this version... it sometimes hangs (but normally saves most of your work before it quits), some things don't function yet, you should save your work regularly and do not do 'serious' production work because you might lose or damage your work. success! -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
