  • OpenOffice.org finally has a native version for Mac, which is why it doesn't need to run the X11 server (only available for Mac OS X Intel for now). Although OpenOffice.org doesn't automatically run the guide that allows you to select the kind of document you want, you can access the different applications from the corresponding menu bar: Text Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Database, or Drawing.
  • NeoOffice is an office suite for Mac that is based on OpenOffice and LibreOffice. With NeoOffice, you can view, edit, and save OpenOffice documents, LibreOffice documents, and simple Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. Two engineers created NeoOffice in 2003 when they made OpenOffice run natively on OS X for the first time.

While these books are not specific to Mac OS X, OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X is nearly identical to all other platforms and these books will still be valuable references. If you get help from any of these places, please consider helping out by browsing through them from time to time and answering questions to which you know or learned the answers. About OpenOffice for Mac OpenOffice.org is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers.

Means the information has been put in random order, and maybe this is completely uggly. Please contribute if you think the outline is not correct, or if you catched an error .. or ..

Copy the Bundle in the Install dirC

In the frame, just drag the 'OpenOffice.org' Icon on the 'Applications' Icon : the Bundle will be copied into the Applciations folder.

The next step will start once this one will be finished

Dock the OpenOffice.org icon

What means dock an application ?

Dock an application means put its icon on the dock. This will allow to make the icon always visible, and then, start the application just clicking the icon !

Note: the number of icons you can dock is limited. (say around 40, what is not that bad ;-)


Process to dock the OpenOffice.org icon

1) Go in the Applications folder

2) Drag the OpenOffice.org icon somewhere in the dock (e.g. between two applications)

That's all !!

First launch

At the first launch, you'll be invited to answer a few questions. Please provide us feeedback : this is very important for us to improve the product.

Hello everyone, how are you all doing today? I hope you are all having a great Sunday. My Saturday wasn’t good and my Sunday isn’t any better, but that’s life sometimes right? I think I will be alright lol, anyway read on…

Today we are focusing on the best Microsoft Office replacements on Mac. Why? Well not everyone likes MS Office and it’s apps including Power Point, Excel or even Microsoft Word so for those people, and those who simply can’t afford Microsoft Office, we have decided to list some good alternatives for those of you running on OS X. I personally recommend you check out at least 3 choices before you make a decision, all of these apps are great or rather good enough.

Can I run Microsoft Office in OS X?

Yes, you can actually run Microsoft Office on a Mac! Not too long ago, Microsoft never bothered to translate their popular software for Apple’s Mac users mainly because Apple is still their #1 competition. But now since Apple pretty much dominates the phone market, MS had no choice but to start porting their software to work on Apple. MS office is already available for iOS and it is now available Mac OS X. But forget about all that, lets look at the Office 365 alternatives for Mac.

#1. Download Google Docs For OS X

Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are productivity apps that let you create different kinds of online documents, work on them in real time with other people, and store them in your Google Drive online, all for free. You can access the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations you create from any computer, anywhere in the world. (There’s even some work you can do without an Internet connection!) This guide will give you a quick overview of the many things that you can do with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

What Is Google Docs?

Compatibility

Google Docs is an online word processor that lets you create and format text documents and collaborate with other people in real time. Here’s what you can do with Google Docs:

  • Upload a Word document and convert it to a Google document
  • Add flair and formatting to your documents by adjusting margins, spacing, fonts, and colors — all that fun stuff
  • Invite other people to collaborate on a document with you, giving them edit, comment or view access
  • Collaborate online in real time and chat with other collaborators — right from inside the document
  • View your document’s revision history and roll back to any previous version
  • Download a Google document to your desktop as a Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF, HTML or zip file
  • Translate a document to a different language
  • Email your documents to other people as attachments

This is my personal favorite Microsoft Office alternative because it literally has everything MS Office has and also it works perfectly fine online. What more can you ask for?
