I am new to Open Office. I installed it fine on my PC (boo hiss) and am now trying to install it on my MAC. I am trying to figure out which version of OOo to install on a Mac PPC running OSX 10.5.4. Alternative to visio 2017 for mac. If I go to OpenOffice download and pick the 'Get more platforms and languages, non-JRE versions' at the bottom of the download choice I get the big list of 20+ different languages and 10 different platforms. When I pick Mac OSX PPC I can download 'OOo_2.4.0_MacOSXPPC_install_en-US.dmg' So Far So good. If I dig a little bit and click on the 'Installation Instructions' in the sidebar and pick Apple I find that there is an 'Apple OSx Aqua' which tells me that if I have OSx 10.4 or newer I can download 'Aqua for Intel' or 'Aqua for PowerPC' The Aqua for PowerPC says that 3.1 was released in May of 2009 and when I click on download I get hundreds of download choices!!! If I carefully dig some more I find 'OOo_3.1.0rc2_20090424_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg' which is about the same size as the 2.4.0 version.

SO what is the best version to use? SHould I write to someone to tell them that the Aqua for PowerPC does not seem to go to the correct link? I see that Aqua is at a 'port' url. Is Aqua different from regular OpenOffice? Worcester, VT I've split this post from the original thread. Very few would see it tucked away at the back of the other thread.

(The Gurkha, Moderator). OO.o 2.4.x requires X11 to run on a Mac. Aqua it the Mac native interface. OO.o 3.1.0 uses the native Mac interface and does not need to use X11. OO.o 3.1.0 for PPC Macs has only passed the QA process in a few languages (English is not one of them). This is due to the lack of volunteers who own PPC Macs to do the quality assurance work.

Only language versions that have passed the QA process are available from the official download site. The good-day site has OO.o 3.1.0 available in all languages for both Intel and PPC Macs.

Other languages have a language code between 'install' and '.dmg'. This is the version I would recommend you use. After you start using it, you could assist in the QA process. See: Edit: Latest version The latest version on the good-day site is 3.1.1rc2_20090827/. Here is a direct link for the US English version. Thank you lgusaas, you are an angel, and a fellow canuck i see!

*waves* openoffice seems to have downloaded fine(yay!), but a particular file that was created on a pc that i was hoping to manipulate on my mac, is still un-formating itself with openoffice.i see there are add on type thingeys, is there one i should instal? Is there a thread about such things that you can send me to? I don't know if it's cause macs don't have wingdings, whatever those are (iwork 06 made a fuss about that deficit, so i wondered if that was why it unformated there-so i did try and understand, but they seemed to cost 80 bucks, and my buck stopped there) the whole thing is making my poor brain melt, and 2am-ness is prolly not helping lol. Any thoughts or links would be lovely (sorry if i shouldn't be asking this here:S ) thanks *puts melty brain to bed*.

NeoOffice is a welcome open source alternative to the pricier Microsoft Office and iWork office suites. The application carries with it all the applications that you'd expect: word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, database and drawing. You'll find the interface of NeoOffice and the range of tools in the office suite very similar to what you'd find in Microsoft Office.

However, NeoOffice does load up much faster when opening up any document. Most tools open up in a new window so make sure you don't have too many open, otherwise the interface will look really cluttered. All the different applications in the NeoOffice suite work well and are more than worthy replacements to the options available in Microsoft Office and iWork'08.

The presentation tool is the only one I was disappointed with, as it doesn't offer as many templates or tools as I expected to create a shiny, professional presentation. You'll find very thorough help docs and excellent wizards to master all elements of NeoOffice. Although the presentation tool is a little weak, the rest of the applications in NeoOffice make for a very good free office suite.
