[Dropped] 10.15 Catalina fails to open

Edit: Split from [Solved] Is 10.15 Catalina compatible with OpenOffice? «Q05» because that topic is solved so you need your own. If you had the same problem you could use the same solution. Please do not post in another's topic unless you are helping to solve their problem for them.

Does not seem to be solved for me

I have a mac and as soon as Catalina was installed when I click open office nothing happens. I had to temporarily download Libreoffice so I could use files. I have performed all the Q/A's I believe properly and even found the code to make gatekeeper make the box appear in settings to allow other app. Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.

Hello,

As I can't launch Open Office directly, I find a solution which works for me : I open directly a document created by Open Office.

Wish it worked for me

There are three possibilities that occur to me: the first is that you have not installed OpenOffice correctly, the second is that you have a bad download, the third is that you have not downloaded the correct version for Mac Catalina.

I am not a Mac user, so can not help further with your problem.

Thanks for the reply. The Catalina was an auto download so not sure there. I had open office already installed and running and probs begun with Catalina.

When I wrote "The correct version for Mac Catalina", I meant the correct version of OpenOffice for Mac Catalina.

I downloaded the 64bit version and don't know if there are any other options. Do you have a link?

There is only one Mac version. Perhaps you could describe exactly what steps you have tried, especially considering the advice in Q05/A05 in [Tutorial] Mac FAQ
